A 1-1 draw at Sekhukhune United ended a run of four straight league defeats. A 2-1 win over Cape Town Spurs followed in the Nedbank Cup before smashing Kaizer Chiefs 4-1 away in the PSL.

A 1-0 loss at struggling Magesi was a poor result. In midweek, they drew 0-0 at home to AmaZulu despite outshooting their opposition 15-5.

Coach Gavin Hunt has top striker Bradley Grobler available after injury. He could feature off the bench with Samir Nurkovic starting as the number nine.

Two key players are still absent in centre back Thulani Hlatshwayo and midfielder Grant Margeman.
