Just two days after securing their place in the next round of the CAF Champions League with a resounding 4-0 victory over Lesotho's Lioli, the Buccaneers turn their attention back to domestic affairs, eager to extend a remarkable run of form. With the season unfolding intriguingly, the clash promises to be an exhilarating contest as both teams look to claim three vital points.

Currently, the league table reflects the closely matched nature of the two squads, with only one point separating them. TS Galaxy arrive in Soweto seated comfortably sixth on the league standings, having staged a stunning turnaround following a rocky start to the 2025/26 campaign, which saw them suffer back-to-back defeats.

However, Galaxy have found their rhythm, going unbeaten in their last five matches and securing an impressive 13 points from a possible 15.
