Mamelodi Sundowns are flying high ahead of their visit to Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday night.

The Brazilians have won 11 consecutive matches in the top-flight. One more win and they’ll break their own consecutive win streak set back in 2007 under Gordan Igesund. Here’s how we think the Glamour Boys will line up, with multiple changes expected from the side that took a 4-0 drubbing at AmaZulu.

So, how will Rhulani Mokwena set up his stall?

Predicted Mamelodi Sundowns XI vs Kaizer Chiefs

Williams; Mudau, De Reuck, Mvala, Modiba; Mokoena, Maema; Sirino, Allende; Mailula, Shalulile

We could well see a strike-duo of Cassius Mailula and Peter Shalulile, should coach Rhulani deem Namibian striker Shalulile fit enough from the start. 21-year-old Mailula has five goals and three assists from eight league outings. He’s cooking.
