JDR Stars and TS Galaxy have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Gladafrica Championship.

TS Galaxy could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Gladafrica Championship game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Mbombela United. 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.
