SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns meet this evening at the Lucas Moripe Stadium and the teams have confirmed their starting XIs ahead of the game.
It is the second derby in a week between the Tshwane clubs after Sundowns beat SuperSport 2-0 last weekend to book their MTN8 semi-final place.
However, both teams will now return their focus to DStv Premiership action for the month of September.
A victory (or draw) for Sundowns would see the defending champions return to the top spot on the log for the time being, while SuperSport, who are currently 14th, could jump all the way up to sixth if Gavin Hunt’s team were to win.
Having started off the bench in their last encounter, both of Sundowns’ goalscorers, Marcelo Allende and Abubaker Nasir, are in tonight’s starting line-up.
Here’s how the line-up:
SuperSport United XI: Chigova, Ditlhokwe, Hlatshwayo, Lungu, Bhasera, Nhlapo, Mbatha, Maseko, Johannes, Grobler, Rayners
Mamelodi Sundowns XI: Williams, Lakay, Morena, De Reuck, B.Onyango, Jali, Mokoena, Maema, Nasir, Allende, Shalulile
