A 0-0 PSL draw at Sekhukhune United made it four clean sheets in a row. They then beat Moroka Swallows 4-1 away in the Carling Knockout Cup and drew 1-1 at Orlando Pirates in the league. 

A 2-0 home loss to Stellenbosch in the Carling KO Cup followed. In midweek, they got a point in a 1-1 home draw vs SuperSport United thanks to an 87th minute goal.

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema is hoping to have Bulelani Nikani available at centre back. Key forward Puleng Marema is pushing to start after injury. 

Striker Douglas Mapfumo is ruled out with an injury.
