Absa Premiership Starting XI: Highlands Park v Baroka FC 01 February 2020

Absa Premiership Starting XI: Highlands Park v Baroka FC 01 February 2020

Teams: Highlands Park v Baroka FC

Date: 01 February 2020

Venue: Makhulong Stadium

Highlands Park will be desperate to end their losing streak when they host relegation-threatened Baroka in the Absa Premiership on Saturday evening at Makhulong Stadium.

The Lions of the North are alarmingly going through a rough patch after losing three consecutive league games with heavy score-lines after conceding ten goals in that bad run.

Highlands' latest defeat was a 3-1 loss at the hands of Orlando Pirates two weeks ago, which saw the side drop to 11th on the table.

Meanwhile, Bakgaga boosted their chances of survival with a crucial 2-1 win over Maritzburg United last Sunday thanks to goals by debutant Ethen Sampson and a last minute winner by Tshidiso Patjie.

As a result, The Limpopo side went three points clear of the drop zone in 13th place while they will also have coach Dylan Kerr on the bench after finally securing a work permit.

Highlands won the corresponding fixture 2-1 in September last year in Polokwane and extended their unbeaten run against Baroka to five matches.

Highlands: 1. Heugh, 10. Mokoena, 8. Mbunjana, 5. Fransman, 14. Mzava, 43. Mbatha, 22. Ramoraka, 12. Mogaila, 38. Shalulile, 14. Mvala, 34. Motsepe.

Subs: 16. Kapini, 2. Mbhele, 24. Rae, 48. Banda, 27. Jooste, 6. Letsholonyane, 13. Ramagalela.

Baroka: 30. Dlamini, 3. Gebhardt, 33. Farmer, 2. Kgoetyane, 23. Ngubane, 14. Mosele, 44. Masiya, 43. Sampson, 37. Maloka, 10. Phiri, 40. Chivaviro

Subs: 1. Chipezeze, 17. Kambala, 36. Khwinana, 20. Patjie, 5. Makume, 9. Mbulu, 39. Gadla
