At 17:00, the University of the Free State will welcome the Tshwane University of Technology to Shimla Park in Bloemfontein.

A win or draw will secure a home semi-final for Kovsies, while if they lose, TUT can move to the top.

The Blues striker, Boy Rantsoti – who scored goals in the teams last two matches – told OFM Sport that they will be drawing on the energy of their home support to try and secure a home semi-final.

“Having to play TUT at home gives us a great advantage to win the game so that we can play the home semi-final. We have a good record in our home games as we have one won each match at home.

“We know that TUT is one of the toughest teams in the tournament. 

“The team worked hard during the off-week and we've been preparing for this game. I trust and believe that we are going to win the game and earn ourselves a home semi-final.”

At 18:30, Wits and Tuks will battle it out in Johannesburg, while in Soweto, the defending champions, UJ face the resurgent UKZN.

At 19:15, the North-West University Eagles will also target the playoffs when they host Vaal University of Technology in Mahikeng.
