Pitso Dladla’s charges are in fine form as they managed to win their midweek league game against Stellenbosch FC.
Arrows remains the only side yet to concede this season after six games. The last time Arrows reached the MTN8 final was in 2009 when they hammered Ajax Cape Town 6-0.
While Sundowns bounced back from their 1-0 loss to Arrows midweek when they beat another KwaZulu-Natal-based AmaZulu FC 5-2, Miguel Cardoso and his troops aim to reach their first MTN8 final since 2023.
Arrows need a draw or a win to advance to the final, Sundowns on the other side needs a win to keep their chances of playing a final.
