- Bloemfontein Celtic have seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches (Premier Soccer League).
- Maritzburg have drawn 1 of their last 2 away matches (Premier Soccer League).

Celtic have Tshepo Rikhotso and Thato Lingwati back from suspension in defence. Captain and top striker Ndumiso Mabena is banned after being sent off against Pirates.

Nazeer Allie is suspended in defence for this match and Kwanda Mngonyama is doubtful in the backline too. Ryan Rae could drop into a right back role with Daylon Claasen selected in midfield.
