A last-minute penalty led to a 2-1 defeat at AmaZulu. In midweek, they lost 2-1 at home to Moroka Swallows.

Centre back Roscoe Pietersen misses that due to suspension. Fellow defenders Justice Chabalala and Sirgio Kammies are available after bans.

Left back Malebogo Modise is an injury doubt. Goodman Mosele is a question mark in midfield against his parent club.
