There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Stellenbosch - Cape Town City latest:
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only three days ago.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Relegation threatens Stellenbosch who should definitely be looking for some points here. Cape are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
