Nedbank Semi-Final Preview: Maritzburg United vs Mamelodi Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane faces Maritzburg United in Nedbank Semis

The other finalist of this season’s Nedbank cup will be revealed on Sunday after the Team of Choice and the Brazilians go out at each other at the Harry Gwala Stadium. It’s literally the battle of the heavyweights as the two make up the top four of the 2017/18 campaign with the visitors, Sundowns, on the verge of capturing the PSL title. All they need is four points from a possible nine. Maritzburg United would be pleased with their campaign, sitting in third place and definitely have some momentum heading into this match having lost none of their last 10 matches in all competitions.

It’s not an easy one, you play Maritzburg, I have never seen a team which has an effort like that. They have got lefts and they are awkward, you must analyze the way they play. Swear to god I have never seen a formation like this in my whole life, never, never. They play with two strikers outright. Everybody has their own software of playing. It’s very difficult.
— Pitso Mosimane, Mamelodi Sundowns Head Coach

Who will be reminded of the taste of losing? Kick-off is at 1pm GMT.
