Chippa United are welcoming Golden Arrows for another important game after their 0-1 result against 1st-placed Kaizer Chiefs.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Golden Arrows have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Chippa can neither be promoted or relegated from Premier League. Golden is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
