Mamelodi Sundowns' next trip to Tunis for the decisive leg of their CAF Champions League will be like no other previous visit.
Sundowns have already been up north on four previous occasions in the Champions League without winning but none of those trips will equate to this one for the game on Tuesday.

The 60 000 fans inside the stadium in Rades, Tunis, will be out to make their voices louder than ever before in making sure that their red and yellow turns the arena into blunder and thunder.
When they made their first trip to Tunis, Sundowns took a 2-1 lead after 76 minutes but ended up losing 3-2 in a 2000 Champions' League group match.
Back then, only the group winners went through and unfortunately for The Brazilians they were second with Esperance tops.
The following year it was a goalless draw in Tunis just like it was in Pretoria with Esperance finishing top of the group.
Fortunately, this time the top two went through.
In the 2017 Champions League, it was Esperance and Sundowns in the same group again and again it was the Tunisians tops and the South African club second.
Sundowns lost 2-1 at home and then played a goalless draw in Tunis.
They then came to meet again in the semis of last season's edition with Esperance prevailing 1-0 in both legs.

With Sundowns carrying a 1-0 lead from the first leg, any win or draw will take them through, just like any one-goal margin defeat besides 1-0.
For the case of a 1-0 defeat, then penalties will decide the tie.
"We are completely aware of our wishes, intentions, and desires and at the same time our capacities," says Cardoso.
