An important duel in the bottom section of the Gladafrica Championship, with both TS Galaxy and Mbombela United experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 14th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
