Match Preview

Mamelodi Sundowns enter the tie after a resounding 3-0 win over Capet Town City in the PSL, while Kaizer Chiefs came from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against newly promoted side Magesi FC.

Sundowns are all out to repeat their league victory over Amakhosi in the cup competition, while Nasreddine Nabi's side are out to avenge the loss at the FNB Stadium.

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, Rivalso Coetzee, and Siyabonga Mabena who are all nursing injuries, which means they are doubts for the tie, according to Afrik-foot.
