The capital city will be split on Sunday as rivals Gaborone United (GU) and Township Rollers clash in the battle for Gaborone spoils at the National Stadium.

The rivalry between the two giants dates back to the 1970s as reputation for both clubs soared on and off the field. The two sides boast 22 league titles between them.

The Sunday game promises to produce the best of the rivalry, as both sides still have a realistic chance of landing the money-less title.

The Blues have a chance to extend their lead while The Reds can reduce the deficit to just four points ahead of the final 10-game lap.
