Babina Noko will finally end a month-long wait for any action, taking to the field for the first time since their first defeat of the season—a narrow 1-0 loss to neighbors Polokwane City.

The Limpopo-based outfit’s return has been eagerly anticipated, and this fixture provides an opportunity to regain momentum and confidence after their last two league matches, which yielded just a single point.

With most attention focused on the league's bigger names, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, Eric Tinkler and his squad have an opportunity to quietly chip away at points and maintain pressure at the top of the table. Sekhukhune return to league action in second place, just one point behind Sundowns with a game in hand, making them a dangerous side that cannot be overlooked.
