Masandawana have already booked their spot in the quarter-finals with a game to spare and they will now face the Sudanese giants on Saturday
Sundowns rested some of their key players during their last game which was a Group A clash against Al Merrikh's Sudanese rivals, Al Hilal Omdurman, on March 19 as the Tshwane giants secured a 4-2 win.
Masandawana will now be looking to end a successful group stage with a win over Al Merrikh.
GOAL takes a look at how the PSL champions could start at FNB Stadium.

The towering shot-stopper was given an opportunity to start against Al Hilal and he had a good game between the sticks.
Pieterse is most likely to be handed another starting berth with the club's first-choice keeper Denis Onyango out injured, while the ageing Kennedy Mweene is being rested.

The speedster has been one of Sundowns' standout performers in the group stage having scored three times in four matches.
Two of his goals came against Al Hilal and he will be keen to continue his scoring form when he faces Al Merrikh.

The lanky full-back has impressed whenever he has been given a chance to start for the Tshwane giants this season.
Lunga could be handed a rare start with Lyle Lakay being rested having been part of the Bafana Bafana squad which travelled to Europe for two international friendly games.

Sundowns' first-choice centre back is expected to start having had little game time during the recent Fifa break.
De Reuck featured as a second-half substitute against Guinea for Bafana and he was then an unused substitute against France.
