The Shimlas are on a three-match unbeaten run in the competition and are the only team to have won all of their games.

Wits are a dangerous team and will play for the full 80-minutes.

Shimlas captain, Thabang Mahlasi, told OFM Sport that they know what to expect against Witsies.

“We won the first three matches coming into this game, so we have that as a confidence booster, but we need to take it every game as it comes.

“The boys are looking forward to this game, especially because we played against Wits before in a warm-up game.

“Tonight, we just want to go out and enjoy the game to the best of our ability.

“We know that it's going to be tough and we are well prepared to put in the work and the effort that is required from us.”

This evening’s game kicks off at 19:00. At the same time, the NWU Eagles host Tuks, while at 17:00 the Madibaz tackle the Ixias in Gqeberha.
