Season ticket holders at Ruimsig Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Jomo Cosmos languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting University of Pretoria will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Cosmos nor University of Pretoria 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.
Relegation threatens Cosmos who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Pretoria most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
