Bucs won 3-1 on aggregate in the MTN8 semis after drawing 1-1 away at Cape Town City and winning 2-0 at home. A 2-0 away win at Jwaneng Galaxy followed in a CAF preliminary match.

A late goal sealed a 2-1 home win over Chippa United last Wednesday. On Saturday, they beat Jwaneng Galaxy 1-0 at home to progress 3-0 on aggregate.

Tapelo Xoki and Paseka Mako remain out injured in defence. Thalente Mbatha is set to return to the starting XI in midfield.

Coach Jose Riveiro has a very settled team. It could be the same XI from the last PSL match.

Chaine; Van Rooyen, Ndah, Sesane, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Saleng, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.
