Both teams cannot afford to lose. SuperSport lost their previous outing against Baroka FC, an indication of waning confidence within the camp, as Baxter prepares to depart.
The Brazilians recorded a double over Matsatsantsa last season, but the playfield is tilted against them.
In their last 32 meetings, Sundowns have won 17 times losing nine matches and drawing six, and they will look to the stats for motivation.
Sundowns are off form, goals have dried, while their coach has signaled he might leave over poor officiating, while they search for ways to recover from their slump.
Defeat for SuperSport will see them slide the log table. There is also bragging rights at stake – the match is not just about the three points on offer.
SuperSport skipper Dean Furman remains unfazed with Baxter exit.
“We have our own expectations – we want to win the league. We are professionals and will not allow the news about the coach to distract us from our goal,” said Furman.
