Kwanda Mngonyama will be unavailable for Eric Tinkler's side, who will be aiming to cause another big upset against their illustrious opposition.
On the Orlando Pirates front, Innocent Maela also still has one game remaining before he can return to the starting line-up and will miss their first MTN8 clash.
