Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane is hoping his side will return to winning ways when they welcome Asec Mimosa in the Caf Champions League on Friday.

The Brazilians recently suffered a defeat for the first time in 28 games when they fell to a 2-0 defeat to AmaZulu in the Absa Premiership.

The defeat saw Sundowns failed to close the gap on log leaders Bidvest Wits, although the defending champions still have two games in hand over the leaders, trailing them by three points.

Sundowns will look to bounce back against Asec Mimosas on Friday in the Champions League at Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Mosimane is be hoping to have fresh leg within his squad as they look to secure their second win in Group A.

‘What’s important is to get the legs fresh and the mind proper because we need the team for Friday,’ Mosimane told the media.

‘If you don’t regenerate the team, you aren’t going the right way and if you don’t work on the mind, you aren’t going the right way. The only way to turn things around is to win a match. There’s nothing else.’

The match at Loftus Versfeld Stadium kicks off at 9pm.
