  Pieterse has been selected ahead of Kennedy Mweene who kept two clean sheets in back-to-back wins over Al Ahly.

  LEFT-BACK – Lyle Lakay

  Arguably among the best left-backs based in Africa, the SuperSport United academy product is in good form at the moment.

  Lakay has formed a great telepathic understanding with Peter Shalulile and he provided the assist for the Namibia international's goal against Al Ahly last weekend.

  CENTRAL DEFENDER – Brian Mandela

  Mosa Lebusa's injury has seen the bulky centre-back establish himself as a regular at the Chloorkop-based giants.
