In the build-up to the match, both teams have placed special focus on improving their quality of attack and will be hoping their efforts are rewarded with goals and, ultimately, the three points on offer.
UFS-Kovsies find themselves at the bottom of the table and are the only team who are point-less.
Their task won’t get any easier as they host the University of Limpopo in Bloemfontein on Monday.
UL were impressive in their match last week and will be looking to improve on that performance. The return of key strikers have bolstered them in attack and will be hoping it brings more goals.
Kovsies will be playing their first home game of the tournament and are expecting their loyal fans to turn out in their numbers to inspire the team to pick up their first points of the campaign.
UFS coach Godfrey Tenoff is not concerned with his teams’ current log position and has previously stated he was proud of their performance in the opening match of the season.
Burney Mampshika hasn’t held back either claiming that he can guarantee a win for the men from Limpopo.
Fans should be treated to an attacking game of football as both teams have placed special emphasis on attacking and goal scoring in the lead-up to the match.
