On Friday, Cape Town City will host Richards Bay in a vital Betway Premiership encounter at Athlone Stadium.
The home side are aiming for their third consecutive league victory on home soil, which could solidify their position in the top eight.
Despite their strong home form, Cape Town City will need to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 loss to Marumo Gallants on 11 January, which ended their two-match unbeaten run.
Currently seventh in the league standings, City are just one point behind fifth-placed Golden Arrows.
However, they face a challenge with key players Thamsanqa Mkhize (suspension), Carlinhos, and Fortune Makaringe (injuries) unavailable for selection.
Richards Bay, on the other hand, sit in 14th place, precariously just one point above the relegation zone. A win could provide much-needed breathing space for the visitors.
After a goalless draw against Marumo Gallants on 4 January, Richards Bay are eager to break their two-match winless streak.
Unlike their opponents, they have no injury or suspension concerns, giving them a full squad to choose from.
