Both clubs have a win each in their previous two cup clashes prior to their MTN 8 Semi-final 1-1 draw, with Masandawana winning their Telkom Knockout clash in 2019 after Abafana Bes'thende had eliminated them from the Nedbank Cup two years earlier.
Arrows have to score today in order to stand a chance to progress because Sundowns already have an away goal advantage following their first leg result in Durban.
Kick-off is at 18:00 at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium, this evening.
