While the Brazilians have won four straight Premier Soccer League titles, they haven’t really produced the goods in the MTN8 in recent times.

Chiefs are in the process of rebuilding following the return of one of their most successful coaches, Stuart Baxter.

Baxter believes that the pressure will be on their opponents this weekend.

“The pressure is firmly on Sundowns because of the way they run the club.

“Paris Saint Germain have Lionel Messi and the only thing that will satisfy them is winning the Champions League.

“When you sign as many players as Sundowns has signed, you increase that pressure and the bar is set much higher.

“They will have the favourites tag and it is going to take the rest of us to chase them down and knock them off their perch and bring greater competition to the league.

“Over the last number of years, they’ve been good enough to make that competition pretty sparse.”

Sunday’s knockout game at the Lucas Moripe Stadium kicks off at 15:00.

In the other quarter-finals, Golden Arrows will host SuperSport United at 15:00 on Saturday, while at 18:00, Orlando Pirates entertain Swallows.

On Sunday at 18:00, AmaZulu will be in action against Cape Town City FC.
