Mamelodi Sundowns' Mosa Lebusa is aware that their opening Nedbank Cup clash won't be an easy fixture.
The Brazilians have drawn SuperSport United in the round of 32 in the Nedbank Cup, with it being the third time that they will meet in a cup competition, after previously facing off in the two-legged MTN8 semi-final in which Matsatsantsa were victors.
While the first round of the Nedbank Cup gets underway in early February, Sundowns will first have to face off against SuperSport on January 19, in Absa Premiership action.
"I think every game that we play forces us to get down to business, whenever teams face Mamelodi Sundowns they bring their A-game, SuperSport is no exception to that," Lebusa told Sundowns' official website after the Nedbank draw last week.
"SuperSport always gives us a run for our money, and it's going to be a tough one," he added.
However, before focusing on anything else, Sundowns have a big clash away to Orlando Pirates on Wednesday evening, with the Brazilians needing maximum points to continue chasing Kaizer Chiefs at the top of the log.
