Carling Cup Rundown
The Carling Cup comprises 16 teams from the PSL, with eight teams seeded from the league. The teams seeded will be those who finish in the top eight of the PSL campaign from the previous season.
The remaining eight clubs are unseeded and must wait for the Carling Cup draw, which took place before this weekend’s elimination round of fixtures. Once the draw takes place, the home and away teams are determined, plus who they will play.
The tournament will run from October to December. The final, as it was last season, will showcase the winner against the All-Star team. The All-Star side is assembled with players voted into the team by the fans.
Let’s take a look at the schedule and all the fixtures for this weekend.
Carling Knockout Cup: All Fixtures & Schedule
The cup where the fans make the decisions and are the real champions kicks off on Friday at 19:00 with the opening fixture between Amazulu and previous Carling Kings, Stellenboch.
The fun doesn’t end there but continues over the entire weekend, with games running until Sunday late afternoon, when TS Galaxy entertains Chippa United.
What does this mean? You can bet all weekend on every bit of action with our pre-match markets and our super fantastic Live In-Play markets.
