The Brazilians are the overwhelming favourites to defeat the National First Division team, however, are mindful of that anything can happen in cup football.

The Downs striker, Jeremy Brockie, warns that the playing fields are leveled in knockout games.

“You can’t afford to drop you attitude or something like professionalism going into a game because we know that Cups like this or like the FA Cup, the smaller team can upset big teams some time.

“If we take the foot off the peddle we can expect to be on the wrong end of a result.

“We’re going there fully-loaded, looking to get past this round and put ourselves into the hat.”

Friday evenings' game at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town kicks off at 20:00.

Tomorrow evening at 20:15 it's a Free State derby when Super Eagles face Free State Stars at Goble Park and on Sunday afternoon at 15:30 Bloemfontein Celtic host the defending champions, SuperSport United at the Slaughterhouse.
