Golden Arrows are set to face Mamelodi Sundowns in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-final on Saturday at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium. Ex-striker Rodney Ramagalela has outlined strategies for the Brazilians to exploit Sundowns' defensive and midfield weaknesses, citing key absences and tactical opportunities. Ramagalela emphasized the need for Golden Arrows to target Sundowns' midfield, where Khuliso Mudau's six-month injury absence creates instability. The former striker also highlighted the importance of counterattacks, noting that Sundowns' reliance on Bathusi Aubaas and Cassius Mailula could be exploited. Mailula's threat, in particular, was singled out as a key factor in Sundowns' attacking play. Ramagalela's analysis comes as Golden Arrows aim to advance past the semi-final, having previously eliminated Polokwane City, while Sundowns seek to avoid a repeat of their last season's semi-final exit.
