The Brazilians last domestic outing was their 2-1 Derby win over SuperSport in the Absa Premiership with goals from Themba Zwane and Thapelo Morena, securing three points in the closely-contested affair.
Saturday’s cup tie will serve as the fifth Tshwane derby of the season, with two MTN 8 games and both Absa Premiership ties already being played. Matsatsantsa overcame Downs in the MTN 8 tie however Downs have been victorious in both of the league matches played this season.
