Sibongiseni’s picks

When the Nedbank Cup draw was made and Bidvest Wits were pitted against Cape Town City, there was a huge uproar as fans chanted Benni McCarthy and Gavin Hunt’s names – there is a simmering rivalry between the two coaches.

McCarthy has the upper hand going into tonight’s match as, since he took over at City, he has managed to beat Wits three times and it is easy to see the former Bafana Bafana striker making it four times in a row against Hunt who gave him his professional break.

Wits, however, could see the Ke Yona as their only chance at silverware this season having struggled to get a rhythm going since winning a league and cup double last season. It is going to be a highly charged game but I see the Students going through to the next round. Pool Name – S6 V1 P1 M1: AmaZulu v Mthatha Bucks.
