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, Wikki Tourist in 13th and Sunshine Stars in 7th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sunshine Stars have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Wikki Tourist form and stats
Wikki Tourist are steadily winning Npfl games and points here. 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 6 games. Three draws in a row here for Wikki Tourist, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
