Sundowns will be aiming to compete strongly in all three of their upcoming competitions – the Premier Soccer League, Nedbank Cup, and Caf Champions League and are focused on avoiding fatigue.

Meanwhile, both Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are targeting a place in the Champions League next season, after experiencing a disappointing campaign in the PSL.
