Nedbank Cup Round of 16 Clash: Moroka Swallows to Face University of Pretoria at Tuks Stadium

In the upcoming Nedbank Cup Round of 16 encounter, Moroka Swallows are set to battle it out against University of Pretoria at the iconic Tuks Stadium. The clash is scheduled to take place on Wednesday evening as both teams aim to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the prestigious tournament.

Following the departure of coach Steve Komphela, Swallows FC have experienced a turbulent period with no wins in their recent league fixtures. However, the team managed to clinch a victory in the previous round of the Nedbank Cup by overcoming Platinum City Rovers in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw.

On the other hand, University of Pretoria, also known as AmaTuks, come into this match with a string of impressive performances, winning three out of their last four league games. AmaTuks earned their place in the round of 16 after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cape Town Spurs at the Tuks Stadium.

Interestingly, Swallows and AmaTuks faced off in the promotion play-offs last season, with Swallows emerging victorious with a 1-0 scoreline. The upcoming clash between these two sides promises to be a thrilling encounter as they battle it out for progression in the Nedbank Cup tournament.

Key players to watch out for in the match include Moroka Swallows’ Musa Nyatama, who is expected to continue leading the team from the touchline. The Tuks Stadium is expected to be buzzing with anticipation as fans eagerly await the showdown between these two formidable teams.
