Thabo Nodada has urged Cape Town City to put Nedbank Cup last-32 opposition Mbombela United in their place this weekend.
Travelling to the Lowveld for Sunday’s clash, Nodada believes that their struggling NFD hosts will be inspired by last year’s champions TS Galaxy from the lower divisions.
The influential midfielder says: “Looking at what happened last season with the team that actually won the competition, a lot of the smaller teams feel they have a chance.
“And when you play against them in the first round, they all want your spot.
With everything that’s gone on at the club this season, a cup run would be good.
“But we are a PSL team and they are NFD and as much fire as they bring and threat they pose, at the end of the day a PSL side must beat an NFD side.”
