The visiting Ajax Cape Town side should be favourites in this visit to Jomo Cosmos, as the away team holds a 20 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Ajax Cape Town 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.
