Simba perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. Alliance can look both up and down from their 12th position.

Simba have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. Alliance are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
