Head to Head

University of Pretoria beat Baroka 1-0 at home just over a week ago.

Baroka FC Form

Baroka FC come into this clash under huge pressure to take all three points. In their opening two games they have only managed a draw and a defeat.

When the playoff round began on 2 June, Baroka FC suffered a 1-0 defeat away to University of Pretoria. A week ago, on home soil, they could only draw 0-0 against Richards Bay who are in the pound seat with four points at the moment.

This is a must-win game for Baroka as a draw or defeat will effectively knock them out.

Baroka FC Injuries & Team News

Baroka were poor going forward in the last game and may look to bring some speed up front. They need to get goals in this fixture.

University of Pretoria Form

University of Pretoria are not out of the running to win promotion, but they need a result in this fixture.

In the playoff opener, University of Pretoria beat Baroka 1-0 at home, but they then lost 1-0 at Richards Bay. A draw here may be enough, but they will have to win at home against Richards Bay and hope that Baroka can upset the odd against the current table leaders.

University of Pretoria Injuries & Team News

I expect the University of Pretoria to field a similar side to their last outing. There has been a serious lack of goals, but they are generally very solid at the back.

Verdict

Baroka v University of Pretoria

I am backing this fixture to end in a 0-0 draw.
