After the first game it's Maritzburg United - Cape Town City 0-1 in points. Who will triumph in this second Premier League game of the season?

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Maritzburg and Cape Town City.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cape Town City have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
