Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has made a tactical switch for Saturday's Betway Premiership clash against Marumo Gallants, dropping Aubrey Modiba and starting Fawaaz Basadien instead. The decision comes after Modiba, who started the previous match against Kaizer Chiefs, is listed as a doubt for the encounter. Basadien, a former Stellenbosch FC left-back, has not been a regular for the Brazilians since joining from Stellies last season. Cardoso's move provides the 26-year-old defender with an opportunity to impress in a high-stakes match. The tactical adjustment highlights the coach's focus on squad depth amid the tight race for the title. Modiba's absence leaves Basadien to fill the left-back role, marking a key moment in the competition's most anticipated fixtures.
