Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sphelele Mkhulise has discussed the team’s return to the Premier Soccer League (PSL) action as they face AmaZulu at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Wednesday.
The Brazilians are making a comeback to the PSL after their away CAF Champions League group fixture against TP Mazembe which they lost 1-0. Speaking ahead of the fixture, Mkhulise stated the readiness of the team and what they are expecting from their opponents.
“We are expecting a difficult game against Amazulu because they didn’t have a good game over the weekend, so they will want to go all out and deliver an exceptional performance. We are also ready for the challenge as we also did not achieve the expected results over the weekend,” he said as quoted by the club’s official website.

“We want to stretch the gap when it comes to points in the league. There are a few teams that are slightly behind us, so we will try to ensure that they don’t surpass us,” added Mkhulise.
He continued: “Their run has not been that great in the league, so heading into this encounter, they will want to go all out and redeem themselves by beating us. They are also playing at home, which will boost their confidence. We will however not allow them to walk away with the three points because we are also looking to collect the maximum points.
“We have laid some objectives so we will ensure that we have a great game and win.”
