Abafana Bes’thende are on a poor run of results in the DStv Premiership, having lost seven in a row, and will be hoping to rediscover some form via the Nedbank Cup.
Worryingly, Arrows’ last opponents were TS Galaxy, who handed them a 3-1 defeat in the PSL on Sunday, after also beating them 2-0 in December.
The Rockets will be hoping to maintain their dominance over Arrows. They also take a three-game winning streak into the cup clash.
Meanwhile, Stellenbosch will be at home against Pretoria Callies, who beat Magesi FC in the first round of the tournament to set up the clash with top-flight opposition.
Stellies are in great form heading into the game, as they are unbeaten since September last year, winning 10 and drawing two games across all competitions.
Last week Friday, the Cape Winelands outfit drew 1-1 with SuperSport United away from home.
