Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns are set to square off in a mouthwatering fixture in the last eight of the Carling Knockout.
Amakhosi and the Brazilians have already met in the Betway Premiership, with the Pretoria outfit claiming a 2-1 win at the FNB Stadium last month.
Chiefs, who are coached by Tunisian coach Nasredine Nabi, reached the quarterfinals of the Carling Cup following a 4-0 hammering of SuperSport United.
The Glamour Boys are on a mission to end their nine-season trophy drought. Nabi has made it very clear that he is aiming to lift the Carling Cup with Chiefs and the fact that he is still building the team doesn’t necessarily stop them from aiming higher.
With the 4-0 victory against Matsatsantsa, the morale at the Naturena-based club must be very high going forward.
Meanwhile, Sundowns also had an impressive start into the cup competition, making their way into the last eight of the Carling Cup with an impressive 5-0 smashing of Golden Arrows at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.
Having missed out on the MTN8 Cup after being knocked out by Stellenbosch FC in the semi-finals, Downs are also keen on redeeming themselves by doing well in the current tournament.
The Premier Soccer League will confirm dates and venues for the quarterfinals in due course.
