Mamelodi Sundowns have an interesting match-up as they take on lower league side Sibanye Golden Stars while Golden Arrows battle Chippa United.
14/10 Venda FC | Draw 2/1 | Cape Town Spurs 18/10 (15:00)
The Limpopo side is currently going through a rough patch having succumbed to three losses and only one win in their recent four matches. They thrashed JDR Stars to book their spot in the last 32 and will face a side that they are familiar with having been playing in the second tie with Spurs.
Cape Town Spurs overcame Black Leopards 4-1 on penalties to make it to the final 32. They have not been doing well since getting relegated back into the first division, a win in this match will motivate them to work their way back into the top-tie. Back this match to end in a draw.
0/0 Lerumo Lions | Draw 0/0 | Durban City 0/0 (15:00)
Lerumo Lions will be looking to make a name for themselves at the expense of the Motsepe Foundation Championship log leaders. They will be aiming to take advantage of their recent slip-up where they were edged by Casric Stars 1-0 on Friday. City to win.
0/0 Umvoti FC | Draw 0/0 | Baroka 0/0 (15:00)
Baroka made a name for themselves in the competition by slaying giants but will be aiming to avoid a shocking early exit when they take on third-tie Umvoti FC. Baroka are currently on an eight-match unbeaten run and are favourites to make it to the last 16 but should not make the mistake of taking their opponents lightly. Baroka to win.
13/10 Golden Arrows | Draw 2/1 | Chippa United 22/10 (15:00)
Arrows looks to be heading in the right direction under the leadership of Musa Bilankulu who took over following the departure of Mabhuti Khenyeza who is now at Chippa United. Abafana Bes’thende will be aiming to add to the woes of Chippa who are winless in their past three meetings but may struggle as Khenyeza is well aware of the strength of Arrows. Bet on a draw.
0/0 Mamelodi Sundowns | Draw 0/0 Sibanye Golden Stars 0/0 (18:00)
Last season’s finalists are expected to make quick work of Sibanye Golden Stars as they are known to show no mercy on lower division teams having once defeated Powerline FC 24-0. Sundowns are yet to be defeated by a lower-division team in the competition. Easy win for Sundowns.
