Sekhukhune United have won all three of their league matches this season. They will need just a second win in nine matches vs Stellenbosch to have a chance of progressing from this tie.

Babina Noko beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 in their opening league match with just 33% possession. A 1-0 home win over TS Galaxy preceded a 2-0 loss to Stellenbosch in the MTN8 semi-final first leg.

In midweek, Sekhukhune made light work of Orbit College in a 3-0 away win. They had 65% possession as Keletso Makgalwa assisted all three goals.

Coach Eric Tinkler has a settled XI. He could recall Miguel Timm into the midfield for this one.

Captain Linda Mntambo is an injury doubt in the engine room. Winger Tshepo Mokoane is one to watch as an impact substitute.

Leaner; Matsimbi, Cardoso, Thokolo, Letlapa; Timm, Mkhize, Rammala; Mncube, Grobler, Makgalwa.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News

Stellies have made a slow start to the season with just one point from three PSL fixtures. They have a 2-0 first leg lead as they look to reach the MTN8 final.

Their season began with a 3-2 MTN8 victory before a 2-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs with ten men. They allowed 18 shots in a fortunate 1-1 draw at Magesi.

Last weekend, they took a deserved 2-0 first leg win over Sekhukhune United. In midweek, they were largely outclassed in a 1-0 league defeat away at Orlando Pirates.

Stellies should have winger Sanele Barns available to return. Ashley Cupido is injured in attack.

Enyinnaya Godswill should return at right back. Genino Palace is also expected to be recalled to the XI.
