Lucas Suarez, Mamelodi Sundowns

Nedbank Cup: Predicting Mamelodi Sundowns' XI to face Sekhukhune United - Miguel Cardoso to sacrifice Lucas Suarez for Malibongwe Khoza after horror showing against Orlando Pirates?

Mamelodi Sundowns host Sekhukhune United in a Nedbank Cup quarter-final match at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Friday.

The Brazilians are yet to win any trophy this season and the Nedbank Cup is a tournament they have a chance to clinch this term after losing last season's final to Orlando Pirates.

They also lost to the Buccaneers in their last Premier Soccer League match and GOAL predicts how coach Miguel Cardoso could line up his men on Friday.

    After the disappointment of the defeat by Orlando Pirates in Sundowns' last match, Williams went on to keep clean sheets in two Bafana Bafana games and that should inspire him on Friday.

    The Argentine had a difficult outing against Pirates, but that does not take away his class to rise and be solid on any day as Cardoso could be stuck on who to start between Suarez and Malibongwe Khoza.

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Teboho Mokoena

    Mokoena was off form when Bafana hosted Lesotho before becoming a subject of a controversial issue which could see Bafana losing three points, but he would not want that to get into his head on Friday.

    The hard-running Chilean has an understanding with Mokoena which can make Masandawana solid in the middle of the park.
