Sekhukhune United host Cape Town City on Saturday 10th of August in the third MTN8 quarter-fianl, having shown significant improvement in the past 3 seasons, finishing 11th in 2021/22, 7th in 2022/23, and 4th last season, earning them a top 8 spot back-to-back.
Babina Noko swapped Lehlohonolo Seema with German coach, Peter Hyballa, with the former having been suspended by the club before being let go.
With a new man at the helm of the Limpopop based team, more improvement is expected, despite losing one of their key players in Elias Mokwana, who has just completed a move to African giants, Esperance.
City and Sekhukhune's point collection flactuated last season but both teams ended the season with 45 points, despite City having opened a 8 point gap between them and United at some point.
Sekhukhune lost only two matches in their last 16 league matches, contrary to City who won only four of their last 17 league matches.
The 3 previous matches between the two teams have all had goals, a win for each team and a draw, with every match ending with at least 1 goal.
Kick-off is at 15:00 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
