Pirates v Sekhukhune tips: Bucs to reach the semis
Orlando Pirates are our pick to beat Sekhukhune United in 90 minutes. Bucs won all three August meetings without conceding and arrive after a seventh straight league win. Thapelo Mokobodi supplied both goals in the Soweto Derby, giving Sekhukhune another attacking runner to stop alongside Yanela Mbuthuma and Tshepang Moremi.
Chiefs v Siwelele tips: Amakhosi edge the cup tie
Kaizer Chiefs are our narrow pick against Siwelele. Wandile Duba scored three in the previous round, with Mduduzi Shabalala repeatedly opening up TS Galaxy's defence. Siwelele have just conceded three to previously winless Marumo Gallants, although Vincent Pule's set-piece threat gives Chiefs a defensive problem of their own.
Stellenbosch v AmaZulu tips: Goals to stay low
Under 2.5 goals is our pick for Stellenbosch against AmaZulu. Usuthu have won their last two games 1-0, while both of Stellies' latest matches finished 2-0. Sinoxolo Kwayiba remains a threat, but his two goals in the previous cup round came after 83 goalless minutes.
