Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Linare in 9th and LMPS in 6th place.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Premier League. That game was also an away game, at Bantu. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
