Head coach Steve Barker added, "We are looking forward to the opportunity. "Obviously Sundowns have been the benchmark club in the country over the last couple of years and coming off a treble season, so we all know they have good quality and depth.
"But we did come off a good victory at the back-end of last season away from home so it's a great opportunity for us to guage where we are as a team this season. It's an exciting challenge that lies ahead but we have to go into the game with a certain amount of beief anf confidence that we can get an upset.
Stellies currently occupy eighth position in the league standings with six points from their four matches played, just one point behind Mamelodi Sundowns who played out a 1-1 draw with Sekhukhune United last weekend.
