Mamelodi Sundowns will face Sudan's Al-Hilal in Kigali, Rwanda, as they look to take control of CAF Champions League Group C.
Al-Hilal are playing their home games in Rwanda due to the civil war in Sudan - hence why Kigali will be the scene of a vital encounter for last season's runners-up.
Miguel Cardoso's side missed an opportunity to take outright control of the group at Loftus Versfeld last Friday, drawing 2-2 against the same opponents.
With three of six matchdays complete; Sundowns still top the group, but on goal difference - as they and Al-Hilal sit level on five points apiece. DR Congo's Saint-Éloi Lupopo have four and Algeria's MC Alger one.
After Friday's draw in Pretoria, fan frustrations spilled over and sporting director Flemming Berg had a liquid thrown on him by a supporter. Sundowns released a statement on Tuesday strongly condemning the "ill-disciplined" response to recent inconsistent results, and the team did their talking on the pitch in a 2-0 Betway Premiership win over Sekhukhune United that evening.
Both goals came in stoppage time at the end of the second half, with Nuno Santos opening the scoring before Brayan León sealed the three points.
Key details
Date: Friday, Jan. 30 at 21:00 CAT (19:00 GMT)

How to watch: The match is scheduled to air on SuperSport's DSTV channel 209.
Team news
Ronwen Williams was left out of the matchday squad for the 2-0 win over Sekhukhune in midweek. The Bafana Bafana captain had been serving as a stand-in club captain for Themba Zwane, who has battled injuries and inconsistent form this season. The reason for Williams' omission has not been confirmed, but his performance on Friday was far from his best. Denis Onyango, who replaced him in the starting XI, captained Sundowns in midweek. All eyes will be on who starts in between the sticks - and whoever is handed the spot is likely to be skipper too.
After his red card at Loftus Versfeld on Friday, Al-Hilal will be without Emmanuel Flomo due to suspension.
