The clubs played out a 1-1 draw when they last met in April 2026.
One Win in Eight – Sekhukhune In Poor Form
Sekhukhune sit seventh in the PSL with 11 points from seven rounds of action. They’re unbeaten since firing coach Cedric Kaze.
A 3-0 loss away to Orlando Pirates in the MTN 8 semi-final second leg made it three straight losses to Pirates in eight days. A 0-0 home draw vs TS Galaxy followed.
A 1-1 draw at Stellenbosch saw Sekhukhune concede an 87-minute equaliser to drop two points. Their last match saw a 3-2 win at Richards Bay as they were outshot 16-9.

Gallants were beaten 1-0 at AmaZulu with just one shot on target. Their last match brought a 2-0 home loss to Orlando Pirates as they produced no shots on target in a toothless display.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Sekhukhune United (4-2-3-1): Buthelezi; Mashiloane, Ndlovu, Matsimbi, Letlapa; Mkhize, Khupe; Mokhoane, Rammala, Mojela; Ohizu.
Babina Noko hope to have left back Vuyo Letlapa back from injury.
Winger Ngoanamelo Rammala and centre back King Ndlovu should both be available after knocks.
Marumo Gallants (4-2-3-1): Lako; Lukhele, Rikhotso, Sikakane, Ntiya-Ntiya; Ndlondlo, Mbhele; Msendami, Mariko, Kunene; Etemesi.
Edgar Manaka is suspended in midfield for this match. Abdoulaye Mariko could make his debut in the engine room.
Daniel Msendami was ineligible for the last game. He could start down the wing with Katlego Otladisa not a favourite of the new coach.
