View The PSL Table The Buccaneers will not have have much time to rest following their 1-0 defeat to Green Eagles in the CAF Champions League preliminary round in Lusaka this past Saturday. Their focus this evening will be to gather momentum in the Absa Premiership after opening their campaign with a 3-1 victory over Bloemfontein Celtic ten days ago. On the other hand, Matsatsantsa are coming to the encounter fresh after resting for ten days since their first match of the season. They opened the season with a 2-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in the Tshwane derby. Kaitano Tembo will be hoping former Pirates players Thamsanqa Gabuza and Kudakwashe Mahachi provide him with an ace up his sleeve to torment their former employers. SuperSport are currently lying second-from-bottom on the table and without points after not taking part in last weekend's second round of matches.
