Formations Tell the Story as Sundowns Go Attacking Against Orbit
For Premiership Round 14, Mamelodi Sundowns set up in an aggressive 3-4-3, underlining their intent to control possession and overload wide areas, while Orbit College FC opt for a compact 4-3-1-2 designed to frustrate and hit on the break. The focus is firmly on Sundowns’ recent acquisitions: new signing Monnapule Saleng is ruled out through injury and misses the matchday squad, while Colombian recruit Brayan Muniz is named on the bench as a potential impact option. With Saleng unavailable, Sundowns lean more on collective movement and wing-back thrust, whereas Orbit’s shape suggests patience and defensive discipline will be key in keeping the defending champions at bay.
