Johnson was sharing his thoughts on the match, which could well see Sundowns crowned champions for a seventh consecutive time, should they manage to gain a victory over Amakhosi at FNB Stadium. 

Of the key concerns he highlighted, Sundowns' unpredictability was one of them. With the Brazilians' riches in depth and quality, it makes it difficult to anticipate which starting XI will be put forward by the Rulani Mokwena-coached side.

"They are a well-organised team, with some good players and a technical staff that pushes them to keep up a high standard," he told Chiefs' official website.

"Having seen them play TS Galaxy on Monday, it is difficult to predict what line-up Rulani will select to play us.

"He has a big, talented group of players at his disposal, although we expect some of the players who missed out against TS Galaxy to come back into the side," he said.

Chiefs will be without the services of Itumeleng Khune, Keagan Dolly, Tebogo Potsane, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo for the clash.

Kick off is scheduled for 19:30 pm.
