SuperSport United take on coastal side Richards Bay in a crucial Nedbank Cup Last16 round this coming weekend.
The match is scheduled for King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium in Durban on Saturday afternoon.
Kickoff is at 15:00.
This is going to be a thrilling encounter between the two Premier Soccer League (PSL) outfits who have already met twice in the league this season.
Interestingly, United are looking to settle the score after losing to them in the league’s second round meeting three months ago.
In addition, the visitors will definitely employ their Cup pedigree going into this match as they participated in many Cup finals and winning some in the past.
On the other hand, Richards Bay will definitely rely on their home turf advantage hoping to advance to the next round.
Matsatsantsa are going into this match following a 1-all draw league match with log leaders and city rivals Mamelodi Sundowns in a Tshwane derby on Tuesday night at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
In the Last 32 stage, SuperSport knocked out another coastal team Cape Town City on penalties at home after the match finished 1-all in regulation time.
Matsatsantsa will rely heavily on players such as skipper Thulani Hlatshwayo, Siphesihle Ndlovu, Grant Margeman, Gamphani Lungu and Lyle Lakay.
Meanwhile Bafana Bafana keeper Ricardo Goss is available for selection after missing the Tshwane derby this week.
