The CAF Champions League quarter finals are here and favorites Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa will be traveling to Angola to take on Petro Luanda in the first leg of their tie. Petro Luanda finished second in Group D as Sundowns topped Group A to book their slots here. Going into this game, Petro Luanda had their league match postponed to give room for preparation for this game, and they will hope to improve on a run of just two wins in the last five. They have managed three clean sheets in those five matches and scored three times in two of the five games. Petro Luanda have failed to score in one of the five matches and three of the five have produced over 2.5 goals. They are however winless in the last two Champions League matches, the most recent ending in a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Wydad Casablanca.

This is not the first time Sundowns head to Angola to face the same opponent; in 2020 they drew 2-2 with Petro Luanda then won 3-0. Going into this game, they will remember their former defender Motjeka Madisha, who scored in both legs back then before passing on in a car accident later that year. Away from that, Sundowns have a very good run going into this game; they have seven straight wins and have kept five clean sheets in those seven wins. Sundowns have scored three or more goals in each of their last five matches and have some of the best numbers in away matches in the Champions League. The South Africans have six clean sheets in their last seven Champions League matches and away from home, they’ve suffered just two losses in the last 14 matches in this competition.
