Stellies’ strong form has propelled them to the second position in the league table, holding a two-point lead over third-placed Orlando Pirates in the quest for CAF Champions League qualification. Meanwhile, Sekhukhune has also been enjoying a good run of form in the league, having stretched their unbeaten streak to eight games with a goalless draw against Steve Barker’s team 11 days prior. Babina Noko are currently in contention for continental football, sitting in fourth place on the log, trailing Pirates by two points and Stellies by four.
However, the Limpopo side will be facing the challenge of being without Jamie Webber, who is suspended for the upcoming fixtures.
