The National First Division teams will play their preliminary matches for the Nedbank Cup on Wednesday afternoon, February 13. Dynamos should regard themselves lucky as they will play their preliminary match at their home ground, Giyani Stadium.

The pride of Giyani will host Mpumalanga Black Aces. Aces are the current log leaders, and for that reason Dynamos must be ready for war if they are serious about proceeding to the next stage of the prestigious competition. Aces have recently acquired the services of two seasoned players from the Absa Premiership side, Bloemfontein Celtic.

In the other Nedbank preliminary fixtures, Sivutsa Stars will host African Warriors at the Kanyamazane Stadium in Nelspruit. The Cape Town derby between Vasco Da Gama and Santos will be played at the Parow Park Stadium and FCAK will travel to Polokwane, where they will rub shoulders with Polokwane City at the University of Limpopo Stadium.

United FC will pin their hopes on their two killer strikers, Jeffrey Mokoena and Andrew Makena, for goals when they host Roses United at the Maruleng Stadium in the Free State.  Thanda Royal Zulu will be the visitors in their match against Milano United. The match will be played at the Grassy Park Stadium.

Witbank Spurs and Blackburn Rovers will test each other’s strength at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank. Jomo Cosmos will meet FC Cape Town at the Johannesburg Stadium. All matches are scheduled to start at 15:00.
