Marumo Gallants will look to break their winless run in the DStv Premiership when they take on Cape Town City at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday evening.
Gallants will come into this fixture hoping for a positive result after earning a point following their goalless draw against AmaZulu at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The Citizens come into this game after they returned to winning ways by securing a 2-1 victory over Chippa United when Khanyisa Mayo and captain Thamsanqa Mkhize cancelled out Ronaldo Maarman’s 31st-minute opener at the DHL Stadium on Tuesday evening.
The stalemate saw Gallants drop down to 15th place on the log – level on 10 points with bottom-of-the-table Sekhukhune United, while the win takes City up to ninth place on the log – level on 13 points with Golden Arrows and AmaZulu, respectively.
When the two sides met in the DStv Premiership last season, City walked away with four points from a possible six after they were held to a goalless draw in the first leg before clinching a narrow 1-0 victory at Cape Town Stadium in the return leg.
Dan Malesela will continue to be without the services of Thabo Mnyamane, who is recovering from knee surgery, while Eric Tinkler will have his entire squad fit and ready for the encounter with no injuries or suspensions within his camp.
Celimpilo Ngema will look to rediscover his form in the league, having already contributed to three goals this campaign with one goal and two assists, but the midfielder has failed to impress in his last seven league appearances.
Khanyisa Mayo will be confident heading into this fixture after he ended his three-game goal drought when he netted City’s first goal in their win over Chippa to take his tally to four goals in 11 matches
