Cape Town City will be desperate to avoid a fifth successive Betway Premiership defeat when they host TS Galaxy at the Athlone Stadium on Wednesday.
Kick-off is at 7:30pm CAT (SA, GMT+2)
CURRENT FORM
The Citizens extended their winless run to six matches when they suffered a 2-0 defeat to AmaZulu FC away on 2 March and it was also their fourth consecutive defeat.
City find themselves placed 10th in the Betway Premiership standings - four points behind eighth-placed Kaizer Chiefs and four points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Galaxy snapped a two-match winless run when they secured a 2-0 win over Golden Arrows at home on 1 March and they had lost two matches in a row.
The Rockets are occupying the seventh spot in the Betway Premiership standings - three points behind fourth-placed Polokwane City as the battle to finish in the top eight continues.
TEAM NEWS
Cape Town City will be boosted by the availability of Lorenzo Gordinho and Lebogang Manyama after they completed their suspension against AmaZulu.
TS Galaxy, on the other hand, have been handed a double blow as Khulumani Ndamane and Victor Letsoalo will be missing due to suspension.
WHAT WAS SAID?
Cape Town City coach Muhsin Ertugral
“Cape Town City is built on nurturing young players. We’ve seen it – our players are playing all over the country," Ertugral said.
"And that’s something we will continue to push. You need the courage to back young talent like Emile Witbooi, and I believe in that wholeheartedly. That’s part of the long-term vision I have for this club.”
TS Galaxy attacking midfielder Keagan Dolly
"A huge credit goes to my teammates, for always pushing me and believing in me. I think without them this wouldn't be possible," Dolly said.
"Also with the month that we coming from, we have been playing week in week out. I think we have played eight games in 24 days. This shows that we are really working hard and for the supporters who spend their money to come and watch us."
