It's game one of two in the CAF Champions League as Cape Town City host Petro de Luanda. This is a 2nd Preliminary Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
It's quite the trip for Petro de Luanda when visiting Cape Town City as the cities are 3500 kilometers apart.
These are busy days for the host team, as they had a game only four days ago in the Premier League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Golden Arrows.
