The writing has been on the wall all week and punters have taken their
picks. All that's left now is for the players to showcase their skills
and help their clubs battle for supremacy.
Four mouthwatering ties will be played in a space of three days with
all eight sides hoping to make the last two semi final berths and
fight it out for the solitary one cup.
It is the MTN8 Cup quarterfinal and things get underway this evening
at the Cape Town stadium when new boys Cape Town City welcome Soweto
giants Kaizer Chiefs, smart from a mid week loss to Wits University.
On the contrary, goals from attacking midfielders Bhongolethu Jayiya
and Aubrey Ngoma helped City defeat Polokwane City on Tuesday. team
captain, Lebo Manyama, was also in inspiring form for the home side
after being introduced in the second half.
Chiefs' talisman Siphiwe Tshabalala, who missed the clash against Wits
due to injury, is likely to face City on Saturday night.
Amakhosi will look to Bernard Parker and George Lebese as the two
attackers have the ability to inspire the team to victory on any day.
As the most successful team in Top 8 Cup history with 15 titles,
Chiefs are expected to at least reach the final of this year's MTN8
Cup.
