---------------------------------------------

The Brazilians finished second to SuperSport United last season and new coach Antonio López Habas will look to go one step further than his predecessor Hristo Stoichkov.

Eduardo Ferreira could line up alongside Matthew Booth in defence for the Tshwane club.

New-signing Richard Henyekane will be looking to feature in attack, while Sibusiso Khumalo will be looking to impress after joining the club.

Defender Siboniso Gaxa will not feature as he is currently in Belgium looking to win a contract with KAA Gent.

Swallows finished inside the top eight last season and head coach Rainer Zobel will be hoping for even better in his second campaign in charge of the club.

Defender Thomas Cichon will require a late fitness test as he is currently suffering with a groin injury, but striker Auguston Leonard is likely to feature after returning from an ankle complaint.

Recently promoted youth team star Lelethu Mkatshana is out with an ankle injury, while Lefa Tsutsulupa is a couple of weeks away from a return with a similar problem.
