Amakhosi will be looking to avenge the defeat they suffered at the hands of City when the sides last met.

Rise and Shine edged Amakhosi 1-0 at FNB Stadium in September last year with Jabulani Maluleke scoring the winning goal for City from the penalty spot.

City on the other side will be looking not only to do a league ‘double’ over Chiefs, but also for a win that will move them closer to safety.

The Limpopo side is currently on 14th position on the log table on 23 points from 24 matches.
