Football fans have reacted to Mamelodi Sundowns and Egyptian giants Al Ahly being drawn in the same Caf Champions League group, putting down their early predictions for the match.
The two sides will square off in group A along with Sudanese clubs Al Hilal and Al Merrikh. AmaZulu make their debut in the competition, drawn with reigning Confederation Cup champions Raja Casablanca of Morocco, Guinea’s Horoya and ES Sétif of Algeria in group B.
Sundowns previously won the Champions League in 2016 under Pitso Mosimane. Mosimane moved to Al Ahly last year and ended that side's seven-year wait for the Champions League title.
They won the trophy for a second year in July.
