Rulani Mokwena Expects Difficult Match Against CR Belouizdad!

Rulani Mokwena Expects Difficult Match Against CR Belouizdad! The Brazilians are back in continental action this weekend.

Mamelodi Sundowns visit CR Belouizdad in their CAF Champions League on Saturday. Head coach Rulani Mokwena is anticipating a difficult night in Algeria.

Masandawana are not in the greatest run of form at the moment, which is contrary to how their season has gone thus far. Last time out they lost 2-1 to Stellenbosch FC in the Nedbank Cup.

Before that loss, they had drawn three successive matches in the DSTV Premiership.

“We know that going to Algeria will be something difficult for us, particularly with the travelling and trying to map our way between the domestic fixtures,” Mokwena elaborated to the club website.

“It’s a draw that we accept with a lot of humility, but also with a clear understanding that it’s going to be difficult. Belouizdad is a very good side even though they finished second in their group with 10 points.

“They have had a good campaign in the Champions League, and in their domestic league where they sit in the first position.  They are a very interesting side with impressive tactical formations and structures with good players and play a similar 4-3-3 and 4-2-2” he added.

Masandawana have already won the DSTV Premiership title. They have fallen short in the other domestic competitions this season.

Their only other hope of additional silverware is in continental football. Rulani Mokwena Expects Difficult Match Against CR Belouizdad!
