Highlands Park will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Chippa United in the Absa Premiership at Makhulong Stadium on Saturday.
The Lions of the North are coming off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in the league on Wednesday night after sneaking past Black Leopards on penalties in the Telkom Knockout on Sunday.
Chippa also progressed to the next round of the Telkom Knockout with a 1-0 victory over Bloemfontein Celtic courtesy of Lehlogonolo Masalesa's 79th-minute winner.
It was Norman Mapeza's first victory since taking over the reins at the Chilli Boys. The Zimbabwe footballing legend admitted after the win that he was still getting to know all of his players' names.
The last time the sides met was in the league back in March when the teams played to a 1-1 draw at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Chippa are currently rooted to the bottom of the Absa Premiership standings with four points from eight games and are the only side yet to win a league fixture this season.
Meanwhile, Owen da Gama's side are on track for another top-eight finish in just their second season in the top flight. The Lions of the North occupy sixth position with 11 points from seven games.
Da Gama has done tremendously well to guide Highlands to a seventh-placed finish last season and win the MTN8 this season.
