Zanele Nhlapho looks forward to a high-tempo match against Copperbelts

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies captain Zanele Nhlapho says she’s looking forward to a high pressing game when they face off with newcomers Copperbelts FC at the Baroka Global Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Sundowns have enjoyed nine wins in 11 games, maintaining their position on the summit with 28 points in the Hollywoodbets Super League.

Nhlapho says having spent the whole week focusing on goal-scoring techniques at training - will make things work in their favour.

"They don't take anything for granted. They always bring their a-game, they always go all out. So, I'm expecting a very, very tough one but like I said to you, at training this week we were busy doing pressing and also scoring some goals. So, I believe that what we've been doing at training it's gonna help us to win the game," Nhlapho said.

Nhlapho says this year’s edition of the women’s league has been tough, seeing that every team wants to bring their A-game when they face off with the defending champions.

But she believes they are a hardworking team and have a very strong squad that will make sure that team maintains its winning momentum.

"The thing is this year it's very tough because each and every team they come very strong at us and we like that because I believe that competition is the one that's gonna give us heads up of where we are as a team. So, we are strong, we can compete with anyone,” Nhlapho added.

Sundowns is one of the top three teams that have conceded less in the first quarter of the Hollywoodbet Super League, alongside the University of Johannesburg and TS Galaxy Queens.
