Spurs had a positive start to the return of the DStv Premiership after thrashing AmaZulu 3-1 courtesy of a brace by Ashley Cupido and another goal by Chumani Butsaka.
However, Ernst Middendorp's charges remained rock bottom with seven points, six points adrift of 15th-placed Richards Bay.
The Urban Warriors reached the round of 16 of this tournament last season but were knocked out by eventual finalists Sekhukhune United after a 2-0 defeat.
AmaTuks, similarly, have restarted their season on a high after back-to-back victories over NB La Masia and Upington City.
Tlisane Motaung's charges climbed up to the top of the Motsepe Foundation Championship standings, as a result.
The Tshwane outfit were last in this tournament in 2022 as they reached the quarter-finals before they were knocked out 3-2 by Royal AM.
AmaTuks will be without Neo Dikgale and Sikhosonke Langa due to suspensions.
Here's how they line up:
University of Pretoria: Van der Walt, Gum, Mahlangu, Mokoen, Majadibodu, Marebane, Mkhuma, Mvambi, Abrahams, Mohlamonyane, Makungo
