Having begun life in the top flight with encouraging results, the newcomers will approach this clash with a balance of confidence and caution.

For a club still finding its rhythm among the elite, the magnitude of facing an established KZN side in a derby setting will test their character as much as their ability. City have made a strong case for themselves in the early rounds.

Under Gavin Hunt's experienced hand, they have opened the season with back-to-back victories, a statement that has raised eyebrows across the league and set the tone for their campaign. Now, the derby will not only provide a litmus test of their progress but also a symbolic milestone in the club's modern era.
