The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cape Umoya United are in the 10th position while the guesting Jomo Cosmos worry at 15th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Jomo Cosmos have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
