Sundowns jetted off to Morocco on Monday after securing their spot in the MTN8 semi-final following their comfortable 2-0 victory over Golden Arrows at the Lucas Moripe Stadium last Saturday.

The Brazilians currently occupy second place in Group C with five points while defending champions Wydad top the group with eight points ahead of their crucial tie on Friday.

Vilakazi says three points would be the ideal result, but he would be pleased to walk away with a point against a ‘dangerous’ Wydad side, who have the ability to punish teams.

‘Getting three points away from home against Wydad would be great but I think a point wouldn’t be a bad result considering who we are playing,’ Vilakazi told Cafonline.

‘The game itself will dictate how things turn out. Sometimes a point is enough because it can make a huge difference come the end of the group stages.’
