Royal Eagles are welcoming Cape Umoya United for another important game after their 0-5 result against 6th-placed Tshakhuma.
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!
Cape Umoya United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
