With Mamelodi Sundowns visiting Stellenbosch FC in the Western Cape this weekend for their Nedbank Cup quarterfinal fixture, the league champions will find the side from the Winelands ready, judging by some of the comments coming from their camp.
Stellies are aiming to upset the Brazilians in their pursuit of winning a trophy this season and to write their name in the history books by going all the way in the competition.

It was against Stellenbosch last month that Sundowns had their record 15-match league-winning run ended during the 1-1 draw at the Danie Craven Stadium.
Speaking to the Siya crew, Stellenbosch defender Vusi Sibiya has cautioned that it would be suicidal for Downs to approach the match with the intention of going for revenge.
"Well, I think if they come to us thinking about revenge, that could be dangerous to them because we might end (up) beating them this time around. There are no guarantees for anyone because we also want to win. All we want is a win and we don't care if they are upset because of the draw in our previous match or not. A win will be important for us to take our team to closer (in what) we want to achieve. But if we manage to beat them, it won't mean that we are done as we will still have to face other teams to finish the job," Sibiya told the Siya crew.

Sibiya was the Man of the Match in that fixture against Downs and he says he is not nervous about the prospect of coming against the Chloorkop side's danger man up front, Peter Shalulile, again.
"As long as we are in the same league, it means we are on the same level and I'm not intimidated by Shalulile. You've got to be confident when you are to come up against players like that and I am someone who likes challenges, and challenges include playing against the best," he said.
