Masandawana have not won a match in open play in their last four competitive outings and Pitso Mosimane will be hoping his charges regain their form after a welcomed international break, with influential midfielder Gaston Sirino coming back from injury.
The Brazilians got to this stage of the tournament after beating Chippa United on penalties following a 2-2 draw in extra time in the quarter-finals.
The reigning back-to-back Absa Premiership champions will be hoping to get a revenge over Arrows after suffering a 3-2 defeat to Steve Komphela's troops at the same stadium just before the FIFA break.

Meanwhile, Abafana Bes'thende will be hoping to reach their first League Cup final this time around, after reaching the quarter-final stage last season.
