Durban City FC will look to make history as they face off against Marumo Gallants in the Nedbank Cup Quarter-Finals, with the added pressure of being the last KZN team standing.
The stage is set for another Nedbank Cup upset as the second tier minnows take on the PSL proper Marumo Gallants.
Form Guide
In a stunning upset, Durban City eliminated the in-form TS Galaxy, securing their spot in the quarterfinals. Now, they’re set to battle Marumo Gallants, a team that has had a rocky season and recently parted ways with their head coach, Dan Malesela.
Marumo Gallants come into the match with a confidence boost after their impressive 2-0 victory over title contenders Orlando Pirates in a Betway Premiership encounter. Their form remains unpredictable, however, as they succumbed to Stellenbosch FC earlier on the week by a solitary goal. That being said, they will be determined to continue their cup run and push for victory against Durban City.
Gallants’ new head coach, Abdeslam Ouaddou, will be under immense pressure with a packed schedule of tough matches ahead. While Gallants will fight to maintain their cup form, it’s hard to ignore the momentum and the underdog spirit of Durban City.
How to watch
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 15:00 on Sunday, 9 March and will be broadcast live on the public broadcaster’s radio stations for commentary. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport PSL channel 202 and can also be streamed on Showmax.
Chatsworth Stadium
The 22,000-seater Chatsworth Stadium will be the venue for the highly anticipated clash between Durban City and Marumo Gallants. Located in Durban, this stadium has a rich football history, once serving as the home ground for Manning Rangers F.C., the champions of the inaugural PSL season. It also hosted Royal AM F.C. before their relocation and now stands as the home base for Durban City, one of the sixteen teams in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
