The Rich Boyz sit bottom of the PSL table with six defeats in nine matches. Their last 11 matches have seen them score on just three occasions.

After beating Cape Town City on penalties in the Carling Knockout Cup following a 0-0 draw, three losses followed. They were beaten 1-0 at Orlando Pirates and 1-0 at home by Magesi in the Cup.

A 2-1 loss at Kaizer Chiefs came despite facing ten men for 42 minutes and saw coach Brandon Truter sacked. Their last match brought a 3-1 home loss to AmaZulu.

Central midfielder Tlakusani Mthethwa returns from suspension for this match.

Not many changes are expected to the starting XI with the new coach using a back four. Former coach Brandon Truter had been playing a back five formation.

SuperSport United Form & Team News

SuperSport have won just two of nine league matches this term. They’ve scored a paltry two goals all season in the Betway Premiership.

After three straight losses, they ground out a 1-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs with just two shots on target. Successive 0-0 away draws followed, at Golden Arrows and at Chippa United.

Last time out, they lost 1-0 at home to Marumo Gallants. SuperSport were outshot 18-11 in the defeat.

Coach Gavin Hunt is without key midfielder Grant Margeman. Veteran centre back Thulani Hlatshwayo is doubtful.

Ricardo Goss is an injury concern in goal so Thakasani Mbanjwa could start again.
