Coach Nasreddine Nabi has Inacio Miguel available at centre back after suspension. Edson Castillo is an injury doubt in midfield.

After winning 2-1 at Kaizer Chiefs in the league, they destroyed Golden Arrows 5-0 at home in the Carling Knockout Cup. A 2-1 home win vs Royal AM preceded a shock 1-0 loss at Polokwane City.

They bounced back in midweek by thrashing Cape Town City 3-0 at home.

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi rested Teboho Mokoena in midweek to protect him from suspension. The Bafana Bafana star is set to start this match.

Peter Shalulile’s brace in their last match could see him lead the line. Iqraam Rayners may move to a role down the left wing in that case.
