Venue: Ellis Park Stadium

This could be an interesting match as Free State Stars have their presumed home advantage while Tshakhuma are ahead 8 points in the Gladafrica Championship table.

It's no vacation for neither State nor Tshakhuma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Tshakhuma are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
