Jonty’s picks

Cape Town All Stars may no longer exist from the end of this season, if rumours of a sale to Swallows FC prove to be true. For now, however, the National First Division side have a plum Nedbank Cup tie to play at Athlone Stadium this evening against Absa Premiership leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Pitso Moismane has said he will rest some of his regulars for this match, but with the squad at his disposal, this still means that All Stars will have to face a side consisting of the cream of South African local football.

Brandon Truter’s side are currently 10th in the NFD and unbeaten in their last six league games, though five of those have ended in draws. One would expect Sundowns to have far too much firepower for them this evening and I back Masandawana to march into the last-16. Pool Name - S6 V1 P2 M1: Cape Town All Stars v Mamelodi Sundowns.
