Midfielder Sphelele Mkhulise is tipping Mamelodi Sundowns as favourites to lift the CAF Champions League after qualifying for the competition's group stages on Saturday.
Sundowns secured an emphatic 6-0 aggregate win over Burundi's Bumamuru FC in a second round premiliminary round clash.

"We played well as a team. We achieved what we had set out to achieve and that is qualifying for the CAF Champions League group stages," Mkhulise told the Sundowns media.
"We take every game seriously regardless of the first-leg result.
"We know what we want to achieve, we have goals, and we want to always improve. So, we do undermine any game.
"It's very important that a team as big and ambitious as Mamelodi Sundowns should always qualify for the group stages, so that it can challenge to win the Champions League.
"We must take each and every game seriously every time. We have what it takes to win the Champions League. We must believe in ourselves, focus, and listen to the coach."
For now, though, the Brazilians will have their eyes firmly set on the MTN8 where they'll meet Orlando Pirates in the final on Saturday.
