The “amazayoni” are looking to bounce back to winning ways after an embarrassing result at the hands of Golden Arrows in midweek. Star striker Collins Mbesuma will be looking to add a 15th to his goal tally and extend his lead on the goal scorers Chart .Mbesuma was on the score sheet in midweek in that infamous loss to Arrows.

Aces were beaten 4-2 at home by Arrows in midweek and on the back of a Nedbank Cup quarter final exit, they might be feeling a little sorry for themselves. They remain in the top five which is still a fine achievement but although they won their most recent road trip at
Maritzburg, league wins have been in short supply in the second half of the season.

Polokwane dug in for a 0-0 draw at Pirates in midweek, a very useful point after their Nedbank Cup exit at home to Baroka in their previous outing. They are six points clear of trouble and hence still have some work to do. Polokwane have been hit and miss at home this season and this game should be a cracker with both teams desperate for the points.
