Mamelodi Sundowns and Marumo Gallants have confirmed their line-ups ahead of tonight’s Carling Knockout Last-16 clash at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
Besides targeting a domestic cup double following their MTN8 triumph over Orlando Pirates, Masandawana will also look to forget about their shock and disappointing exit from the CAF Champions League.

Miguel Cardoso’s team drew 1-1 draw against Angolan side Wiliete SC but crashed out on the away goal rule despite currently being on an 11-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa, who most recently roped in Namibian tactician Ronnie Kanalelo to turn the club’s fortunes around, are in poor form and have yet to register a win this entire campaign which sees them anchor the base of the Betway Premiership table.
Gallants will look to draw inspiration from last year’s historic upset over Sundowns in the same competition and reach the quarterfinals.
Here’s how both teams will line up:
Sundowns Starting XI: Goss, Morena, Khoza, Mvala, Basadien, Cele, Mkhulise, Sales, Ndlovu, van Wyk, Rayners.

Gallants Starting XI: Mlambo, Ncube, Rikhotso, Manku, Motshoneng, Ntiya=Ntiya, Pheena, Ndlondlo, Moremi, Sihlali, Kunene.
