DStv Premiership
Teams: Cape Town City v Sekhukhune United
Date: 23 August 2023
Venue: Athlone Stadium
Time: 19h30
The Citizens' perfect start came to an end last Friday after a narrow 1-0 defeat to SuperSport United, with Etiosa Ighodaro scoring the decisive goal for Matsatsantsa in the second stanza.
City slipped down to sixth on the standings with six points but they can go up to second if they get back to winning ways.
Sekhukhune, meanwhile, lost their second game in three matches after a controversial stoppage time own goal by goalkeeper Badra Ali Sangare gave Swallows a 2-1 win a week ago.
Brandon Truter's charges fell down to tenth on the standings, with three points from as many matches.
The Citizens had the edge over Babina Noko in their meetings last season, as they narrowly beat them 1-0 in Limpopo in the reverse fixture courtesy of a goal by Betrand Mani after the first round clash ended goalless in Cape Town.
