Between the two giants of South African football, there are currently eight players sitting on three yellow cards who run the risk of being banned from the much-anticipated clash at the FNB Stadium on Sunday, 8 May at 17:30.

As reported by The South African website, Mamelodi Sundowns have had a record 23 different players score goals in all competitions this season.
