In those 5 wins in a row, Sundowns has been the first team on the score sheet. in 4 out of the 5 aforementioned matches, Sundowns went into the break with a lead. Sundowns have the return leg against Esperance to worry about on the 26th of April 2024.

Home to Score in Both Halves - No 1/2

This game is not crucial to Sundown's season, they will take the early lead and try to manage the game in such away that they can rest their key players for Esperance Tunis. So the second half of this match will be muted with ball possession being prioritised over goal scoring.
