Durban City have 25 points and are not far from securing their safety. They have won two of their last league matches since sacking coach Gavin Hunt.

New coach Sinethemba Badela oversaw a 0-0 home draw with Chippa United in the Nedbank Cup with a 24-5 shot count. Durban City won on penalties, but the coach was fired after just three games at the helm.

Their last match saw 18 shots as they scored in extra time to beat Marumo Gallants 1-0 at home in the Nedbank Cup.
