SuperSport United will have the chance to climb up to second in the DStv Premiership standings when they host Cape Town City on Saturday evening at the Lucas Moripe Stadium. The match is set to kick off at 17h30.
SuperSport are looking to get back to winning ways after a four-game winless run, which was extended after a goalless draw against Swallows last weekend. Despite this, Matsatsantsa still remain in third place on the table and will be looking to leapfrog second-placed Richards Bay with a win.
The team has acquired the services of Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa on loan until the end of the season, following the departure of forward Iqraam Rayners, who returned to Stellenbosch on loan.
Cape Town City, meanwhile, could not extend their unbeaten run to four matches after narrowly losing a five-goal thriller against Stellies in a Cape derby just over a week ago. As a result, the Citizens dropped down to ninth on the table and will be looking to return to the top eight.
SuperSport will be chasing a league double over the Mother City outfit after edging them 1-0 in their own backyard just a month ago.
Both teams have announced their lineups for the match, with SuperSport United fielding 20. Goss, 6. Dithlokwe, 18. Nhlapo, 23. Margeman, 14. Bhasera, 40. Maseko, 10. Lepasa, 15. Ndlovu, 12. Webber, 37. Johannes, 7. Grobler, while Cape Town City will have 16. Keet, 2. Mkhize, 25. Gordinho, 12. Fielies, 24. Lakay, 3. Mokeke, 10. Mdantsane, 27. Goedeman, 11. Mayo, 21. Mani, 20. Darwin.
