Free State Stars have the chance to pull clear of the relegation zone when they host Polokwane City this evening.

Stars will be looking to build momentum after registering a win and a draw in their last two league encounters.
Ea Lla Koto currently occupy the play-off spot, but they could move as high as 12th with a victory this evening.

On the other hand, Polokwane returned to winning ways over the weekend with a 3-1 victory over Baroka FC to claim the Limpopo derby bragging rights.
Victory for the Limpopo outfit will see them move up to fifth spot, five points adrift of league leaders Orlando Pirates.
Polokwane will also be looking to complete the double over the Free State side as Bangile Booi's solitary strike secured a 1-0 win back in September.
