We've seen good and bad for these sides so far this campaign, situated in positions near the midsection of the Gladafrica Championship table. Here's the Cape Town Spurs - Magesi latest:

Insights:
  • Cape Town Spurs have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Magesi have yet to win a game away.

Magesi have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The visiting Magesi played their last game only four days ago, a Gladafrica Championship match. That game was also an away game, at Pretoria Callies. 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.
