Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane will change the team for the Caf Champions League match against Côte d’Or in Victoria on Saturday, saying if it backfires his side will ‘fix it at home’ in the second leg.
Downs are set to jet out to the Seychelles on Wednesday looking to continue their march towards the Caf Champions League group stages, after a 5-2 win on aggregate in the preliminary stages against Congolese side AS Otoho.
Mosimane’s charges will continue their busy schedule with Saturday’s clash before travelling back to on Sunday to prepare for another hectic week. They play SuperSport United in the their MTN8 second-leg semi-final clash before facing Maritzburg United in the Absa Premiership in Tshwane on Saturday, 18 September.

With three games in the space of seven days, Mosimane says he will rotate his side for the Champions League clash.
‘Probably we will change the team in Seychelles and everybody must get an opportunity to play and show us we can win. If it backfires we will sort it here [at home],’ said Mosimane.
‘We also have the MTN 8, three tournaments in seven days. It’s no child’s play. It has got a different mood and mentality,’ he added.
