The Premier Soccer League resumes again this week with all the clubs in action.


There are three games taking place tomorrow night with Ajax Cape Town hosting Orlando Pirates, Polokwane City host Wits and the two new boys on the block, Highlands Park and Baroka FC, go head-to-head.

Wednesday night it’s the big Free State derby with Free State Stars at home against Bloemfontein Celtic in Bethlehem.

Both teams lost their opening games with Free State Stars going down 2-1 to Chippa United in Port Elizabeth and Celtic losing 1-0 to Maritzburg United at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium.

Follow Celtic’s loss to Maritzburg, the coach Serame Letsoaka said they can only build heading into the remainder of the competition.

"When we conceded the goal everybody wanted to go forward, everybody is trying to score the goal. I'm sure we can build from here from this performance.

"Also, this is just the first game and it must indicate that when you play the first game of the season you play a closed book. 

"You don't know your opponent and you don't know the players who you will be playing against."

The Free State derby at Goble Park kicks off at 19:30.
