Match Preview
Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler is trying to instil a solid defensive structure in a team better known for its attacking flair.’
Tinkler is especially mindful of their defensive responsibilities at home with the away goals rule still in effect in this competition.
“Obviously it’s very important not to concede at home. That’s first and foremost the most important factor for us, to look to ensure we try and keep a clean sheet at home,” Tinkler said in the buildup to the game.
“It is also a positive going into this game the fact that we could have beaten Royal AM by two or three goals more than we did and that was good going into the game against Swallows.
“We need to be firing up, we need to ensure we get a positive result at home, be it 1-0 or 2-0, so that we can take some sort of lead to Dobsonville come next month.”

Swallows head coach Brandon Truter equally expects a tough game against City and he also stressed the importance of keeping a clean sheet in Cape Town.
“It is not easy against City, this season they have already scored a number of times, and last season they were one of the highest scorers,” Truter said.
“But we will be mindful of that … and hoping to snatch it [the tie]. They do concede, as we saw against Royal AM … there is enough evidence to say we will create chances.
“Having the away leg first is tough, you don’t want to concede so you can come home with a clean slate.”
