Kick-off in Durban is set for this Sunday, and we will bring you every key moment as it happens.

Arrows head into the return leg with a 1-0 aggregate lead, courtesy of Junior Dion’s 37th-minute finish at Lucas Moripe Stadium last weekend. Pitso Dladla’s side arrive on the back of three straight one-goal wins across all competitions and have not conceded in eight matches this season, a run that includes home and away victories over Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns already this month.

Sundowns, under Miguel Cardoso, responded to that first-leg defeat with a 5-2 Betway Premiership thrashing of AmaZulu, but the Brazilians go into Sunday needing to win away from home in a round of the competition they have never managed to do — their record in MTN8 semi-final away legs reads drawn six, lost five. The picture is further complicated in defence, with right-back Khuliso Mudau ruled out for months by an achilles rupture and Keanu Cupido, Arthur Sales and Nuno Santos all still sidelined.

History is heavily on Sundowns’ side overall, with 27 wins from 45 meetings between the clubs since 2007, but the MTN8 context tells a different story: Sundowns have never recovered from losing the first leg of a semi-final in the competition’s modern era, falling in similar circumstances to Pirates in 2011, Cape Town City in 2018 and Stellenbosch in 2024.
