Mamelodi Sundowns has confirmed that tickets for their Betway Premiership match against Kaizer Chiefs on 1 March have sold out.

The match will take place at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville, Pretoria, a smaller venue.

Sundowns’ preferred venue, Loftus Versfeld Stadium, was unavailable due to a Vodacom United Rugby Championship (URC) match between the Blue Bulls and the DHL Stormers, scheduled for the same day.

However, Lucas Moripe Stadium has become a preferred venue for Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso due to its excellent playing surface.

Sundowns have defeated Chiefs twice this season, once in the first round of the league at FNB Stadium and again in the first round of the Carling Knockout Cup, also at FNB Stadium.

In fact, Sundowns has won the last four consecutive matches against Chiefs.

Chiefs have also lost their last five away matches against Sundowns, who have been dominant, winning the league title for the seventh consecutive season.

Sundowns currently leads the Betway Premiership standings with 48 points after 18 matches, 23 points ahead of seventh-placed Chiefs.
