Kaizer Chiefs will look to make a statement in the Nedbank Cup as they face SuperSport United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, October 19th.
Both teams are eager to redeem themselves after early exits from the MTN8.
The Glamour Boys and the Swanky Boys have a history of closely contested matches, with their recent encounters in the Premier Soccer League evenly split.
However, this weekend’s clash will have added significance as it marks their first cup meeting in several seasons.
Kaizer Chiefs will be boosted by the return of Gaston Sirino and Brandon Petersen, who have recovered from injuries.
However, George Matlou and Tebogo Potsane remain sidelined. Edmilson Dove is also making progress in his recovery but may not be ready for full action.
SuperSport United will be assessing the fitness of new signing Vincent Pule, who joined the club from Orlando Pirates.
The former Pirates star could make his debut for his new team if deemed fit.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 8 PM South African Standard Time. Fans can catch the action live on SuperSport’s PSL Channel or SABC Sport.
