Teams: Stellenbosch FC v Mamelodi Sundowns

Date: 01 September 2024

Venue: Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Time: 15h00

Sundowns were yet to click into gear in their first game of the season after they needed extra-time and an own goal to edge Polokwane City 1-0 in the quarter-finals.

The Brazilians' struggles continued in midweek after a 1-0 defeat to Stellies in the semi-final first-leg, who scored via a second-half penalty by Fawaaz Basadien.

The Tshwane giants will still be without goalkeeper Denis Onyango after he was red-carded against Rise and Shine.

Steve Barker's charges, on the other hand, made it to the semi-finals after thrashing TS Galaxy 3-1 in the quarter-finals.

The Cape Winelands outfit, unlike Sundowns, have had more match rhythm after participating in the CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round.

Stellies eliminated Eswatini outfit Nsingizini Hotspurs 8-0 on aggregate, which included a 5-0 win in the second leg last weekend.

Here's how they line up:

Stellenbosch: Stephens, Moloisane, Basadien, Mcaba, Jabaar, Toure, Adams, Nduli, Titus, De Jong, Mojela

Subs: Langeveldt, Andrieas, Palace, Jurgens, Onyango, Phili, Cupido, Barns

Mamelodi Sundowns: February, Lebusa, Mokoena, Kekana, Mashego, Mudau, Zwane, Allende, Letlhaku, Riberio, Sales

Subs: Pieterse, Coetzee, Morena, Modiba, Aubaas, Maboe, Kodisang, Matthews, Shalulile
