Stellenbosch will be looking to continue their revival of the season when they host Swallows in the Nedbank Cup last 32 on Saturday afternoon.
Nedbank Cup
Teams: Stellenbosch FC v Swallows FC
Date: 11 February 2023
Venue: Athlone Stadium
Time: 15h00
Stellenbosch gave their season a shot in the arm, as they ended a nine-game winless run with back-to-back victories over Cape Town City and Chippa United in the league.
Stellies climbed up to 12th on the log, as a result, two points clear of the relegation zone and will be looking to get past the first hurdle in the Nedbank Cup after they were eliminated by Baroka at this stage last season.
Swallows, meanwhile, will also get some respite from relegation worries, although they beat Richards Bay 1-0 the last time out to move out of the drop zone by goal difference.
The Birds reached the round of 16 in the previous season before they were dumped out by Royal AM.
Stellies edged the first round league contest between the sides 2-1 in September last year away from home.
Here's how they line up:
Stellenbosch FC: Langeveldt, Makhanya, Sibiya, Basadien, Van Rooyen, Nduli, Jabaar, Mendieta, De Jong, Titus, Rayners
Subs: Bombay, Mgaga, Mcaba, Boji, Mngomezulu, Sobiech, Jurgens, Mthethwa, Sibande
Swallows FC: Tshabalala, Damons, Sait, sasman, Zulu, Mthethwa, Isaacs, Malinga, Wambi, Allan, Rusike
Subs: Mbanjwa, Sibiya, Sam, Mngonyama, Mtshali, Uromi, Amoojee
