Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso admits his side face another tough test when they take on Chippa United at the Buffalo City Stadium this weekend.

The Brazilians come into this fixture high in confidence after claiming a comfortable 3-0 victory over Siwelele FC.

Sundowns will now travel to East London for their upcoming Betway Premiership fixture against the Chilli Boys.

Cardoso says the situation will leave Sundowns with limited recovery time ahead of their upcoming international commitments, but insists he does not want to make excuses as they turn their attention to Saturday’s clash.

“It will be a tough match, we play there on Saturday,” Cardoso said.

“A little bit of applications, I don’t want to speak about that but a change of the venue that will allow us to stay one more day, we’ve only flight the following day on the night to attach preparation for our international match the following weekend and it’s a pity that things are that way but I don’t want to cry, they say I cry too much.

“But I just stuck too reality, but now it’s time to think about the next match and to recover the players and think about the weekend thank you.”
