Goalkeepers Denis Onyango and Wayne Sandilands have both been outstanding for the Brazilians and key players in the team's success. Onyango did not feature in the first encounter against Enyimba FC at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in June due to suspension, with Sandilands standing in during his absence. It will be interesting to see who Mosimane chooses to field between the sticks, following Onyango's return.
"I saw (Denis) Onyango is back, (and) Wayne Sandilands has been doing well in the last few games, so it will be interesting to see who he (Pitso Mosimane) starts because Sandilands hardly put a foot wrong," Moosa said.
Downs were victorious at their first CAF encounter away to Setif prior to their disqualification, and Moosa is certain that Masandawana are confident enough to be able to once again get the same result in Egypt.
"Results have been going their (Sundowns) way, their confidence will be boosted by the fact that they beat Setif away," the Downs legend said.
"They won away from home so they've got the confidence. It will be an exciting game because Zamalek is a good team. It will be a good challenge for Sundowns," the 47-year-old added.
Sundowns will welcome Zamalek to Mzansi in the second leg, and if they achieve a favourable result in Egypt on Sunday, Moosa is certain that a home win should be inevitable.

"If Sundowns can get a draw, they will probably start as favorites when they play Zamalek at home, because they will be expected to win at home if they get a draw away, and that will put them in a good position," Moosa concluded.
