Baroka host Black Leopards on Saturday in what is essentially a scrap to avoid being in the PSL relegation zone.
This Limpopo derby sees 14th host 15th on the table. Lidoda Duvha have a game in hand over Bakgaga.
Black Leopards lost 2-1 to Polokwane City on Sunday, while Baroka went down to Bloemfontein Celtic by the same scoreline.
“Derbies are always hard. [It was a] tough game,” said Black Leopards coach Alan Clark after their derby defeat to SuperSport TV.
“I think for the most part of the game, Polokwane were the better side. They probably deserve all three points to be honest with you. We didn’t turn up.”
Leopards have only picked up five points from 10 away league games this season, while Baroka have just 10 points from 12 home fixtures to date.
Kick-off time and prediction
Kick-off time: 7 March, 15:30
Prediction: Black Leopards’ away woes are greater than Baroka’s struggles at home, which have largely been solved of late. For this reason, Dylan Kerr’s charges are predicted to win.
Baroka have a 42% chance of winning, but generally only win 29% of games at such odds. Black Leopards are underdogs, having been given a 36% chance of victory by bookies. In fairness, they usually do quite well under these circumstances with a 42% win rate.
