SuperSport had a steady start to the season, as they are yet to concede after beating Richards Bay 2-0 and played to a goalless draw against AmaZulu in midweek, in their first two league games.

The Tshwane giants were eliminated in the first round of this competition last season after a 2-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Stellies, meanwhile, had two contrasting results in their first two league games as they edged Orlando Pirates 1-0 but were beaten by the same scoreline by Polokwane City in midweek.

SuperSport had the upper hand in the league meetings between the sides last season, after beating Stellies 2-0 in the first round away, with Jamie Webber and Bradley Grobler on the scoresheet while the reverse fixture ended goalless in Tshwane.
