An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Stellenbosch and Polokwane City experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 15th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Polokwane City 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.
