An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 14th place.
Cape Town City and Baroka should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Baroka have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
