Dikwena come into the league clash having failed to win any of their last six games in all competitions, losing five. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 defeat to Baroka FC in the Nedbank Cup last week.
In their last three Premiership encounters, Stars lost 3-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns, 2-0 to Orlando Pirates, and drew 3-3 with Chippa United. The poor run has dropped them to last position in the standings, six points adrift of safety.
Meanwhile, Matsatsantsa have also been battling through a difficult period. They have won only one of their last six games in all competitions, a 4-2 victory at home against Bloemfontein Celtic last time out in the league.
SuperSport’s last outing resulted in a penalty shoot-out defeat to Celtic in the Nedbank Cup second round.
Eric Tinkler’s side find themselves in 12th position in the Premiership standings, only three points above the relegation zone. However, a win could lift them into the top eight.
