SuperSport United will be looking to maintain their impressive unbeaten run in the Absa Premiership when they host Highlands Park on Friday.
Matsatsantsa have risen to second position in the league standings recently, following a seven-game unbeaten streak, and are now 10 points behind leaders Kaizer Chiefs, who have a game in hand.
Head coach Kaitano Tembo has led his team to victory against AmaZulu, Bidvest Wits, and Maritzburg United in those seven outings, while drawing with Black Leopards, Bloemfontein Celtic, Golden Arrows, and most recently Stellenbosch.
In team news, Tembo will be hoping midfielder Thabo Mnyamane will continue his return to full fitness after making his first appearance for United in the draw with Stellies.
"Thabo needs more game-time. He is still way behind in terms of game-time," said Tembo, as quoted by KickOff.
"He lacks fitness but you can see his little bit of quality especially when he gets the ball, but I knew he is very unfit [at the moment]."
Meanwhile, the Lions of the North have struggled to find wins in recent weeks but on the positive side have also avoided defeat in their last three Premiership encounters.
Owen Da Gama's charges drew with Stellenbosch, Bidvest Wits, and Cape Town City in their last three league games. Their last win was at the end of October when they beat Chippa United 2-0.
Despite the shortage of wins, Highlands could still move into the top four should they manage to claim all three points at Lucas Moripe Stadium.
