Possible lineups
The home side will be without Edson Castillo, who has been ruled out for four to five months due to his injury against SuperSport United in the Betway Premiership.
Sundowns, on the other hand, have players like Themba Zwane, Tashreeq Matthews, Kegan Johannes, Lesiba Nku, Rivaldo Coetzee, and Siyabonga Mabena who are all nursing injuries, which means they are doubts for the tie, according to Afrik-foot.

The Soweto giants have not won against Masandawana in all competitions for three seasons; their last win over the Brazilians came in the 2020-21 campaign.
The last ten games since the 2020-21 season have ended with Sundowns winning eight, while the remaining two ended in a draw.
