The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cape Town City are in the 10th position while the guests worry at 11th.

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.

It's quite the trip for Maritzburg United when visiting Cape Town City as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

The points were shared in Cape Town City's previous game, also at home. Visiting Kaizer Chiefs (placed 1st) travelled back with a point after a 1-1 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Cape Town City lost 1-2 at AmaZulu's place.
