Sundowns in Impressive Form

Sundowns have been a dominant force across competitions, and their recent performances only add to their growing reputation. Despite missing some key players, such as Stanley Nwabali, Teboho Mokoena, Khuliso Mudau, and Ronwen Williams, who are away on international duty, the team has maintained a high standard of play. The Brazilians will be looking to keep their momentum going as they aim for a spot in the final.

Chippa United’s Challenging Run

Chippa United, on the other hand, has had a mixed start to their campaign. Their most recent match saw them fall 2-0 to AmaZulu in Durban, but their performance has been commendable this season, sitting in sixth place on the league table, level on points with fifth-placed Sekhukhune United. Despite facing tough competition, the Chilli Boys will be keen to prove their mettle against one of South Africa's top teams.

Missing International Players

Both sides will be missing several key players due to international duty, which may affect their line-ups. The absence of key figures like Sundowns' Nwabali and Mokoena, along with Chippa's own internationals, will be a challenge for both teams, but both coaches will look to their bench for players to step up.
