Mamelodi Sundowns have been warned to expect a tough match when they welcome Golden Arrows in a Nedbank Cup encounter at Loftus Stadium tonight at 8pm.

Fresh from two defeats at the hands of Moroka Swallows and neighbours SuperSport United, Sundowns are well aware that the Nedbank Cup is their only hope of silverware this term.

Arrows coach Manqoba Mngqithi said that the cup is not a priority for his side but defender Musa Bilankulu said his side will not lie down and let the Tshwane team walk all over them.

“We are going there with the hope of making it to the next stage of the tournament. They have lost their last two matches and that is a clear indication that they can be beaten. We are hoping to make things difficult when we meet them,” Bilankulu said.

This year’s Nedbank Cup draw has not been kind to Sundowns. The Brazilians faced Ajax Cape Town in the round of 32 and now they have a date with another tough PSL team in the form of Arrows.
