The outcome of the two bitter rivals is not easy to predict. But a look at the past result can shed some light.
Sundowns go into this match without big Ivorian Siaka Tienie, who has been a major force for them over the last few months.
Chiefs seem to have a mental advantage over the Brazilians. When they last met in February, it was Chiefs who came out tops, and they will likely do the same in this match to keep on track for the league title. Chiefs need to keep winning.
