Masandawana have been in scintillating form, enjoying a 10-point lead and are threatening to win the league title way before the campaign finishes.
Currently sitting on a run of nine wins on a trot, they are now bidding to match their 2013/14 season exploits when they won 10 straight league games en route to being crowned champions.
Now at 37 points after 15 league games, Masadanwana have reached the halfway stage of the campaign with the same number of points they had last season.
But they face the Chilli Boys who are keen to bounce back after posting negative results in their recent games.
The likes of defender Brian Onyango, Rivaldo Coetzee, Erwin Saavedra and Thabiso Kutumela might be selected for the matchday squad.
Mamelodi Sundowns’ quest for a 10th successive Premier Soccer League victory faces a threat from wounded Chippa United at Loftus Versfeld on Tuesday.
But completely ruled out are defenders Abdel Boutouil and Terrence Mashego as well as Bongani Zungu and Abubeker Nasir who are battling fitness issues.

While Sundowns are flying after 10 wins on a spin, Chippa have failed to win in their last four games in a run of two defeats and as many draws.
The Chilli Boys have also conceded the second-highest number of goals this season and their shaky defence faces a free-scoring Masandawana attack that has scored 30 goals in 25 league outings.
These two sides last met in September 2022 in Gqeberha when the Brazilians won 1-0.Chippa would want to defy all this and stage an upset in Tshwane and pick up their confidence going forward.
