High flying Stellenbosch will put aside their Premier Soccer League targets to focus on the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals. On Saturday, they will be at home against PSL rivals SuperSport United. This will be the third meeting this season for the two sides, with SuperSport holding the better head-to-head run. Stellenbosch lost 2-1 in the first meeting between the two sides this season before playing to a 1-1 draw. However, the last time the two faced off in a cup game, Stellenbosch won 1-0 in extra time. With three wins in their last four matches, Stellenbosch will head into this game as favorites. Playing at home will further boost their advantage as they seek to keep rising in a season they’ve really done well. Stellenbosch eliminated Milford in the last round and will be targeting an extended stay in the competition.

SuperSport United are struggling in the league and will know this is their best chance at silverware. They come into this game on a shaky run, with just one outright win in their last 11 matches, and having failed to keep a clean sheet in 24 matches. Facing a side unbeaten in nine matches and with just one loss in 21, SuperSport know this is a tough assignment. Right ahead of this game, SuperSport United suffered a 1-0 home loss to TS Galaxy, driving a dagger into their already poor season. The visitors reached this stage after a 3-1 win over Richards Bay. With seven of eight remaining teams in the competition being PSL sides, SuperSport United know the task ahead of them isn’t easy. The Swanky Boys come into this game also on a shaky away run, having lost half of their last 10 matches on the road.
