Chiefs have been in good form in the second half of the season after collecting 13 points in their last five games.
The Kgatleng side is four points clear of archrivals Township Rollers who play Kaizer Chiefs in a CAF Champions League encounter.
Magosi will bank on the left footed winger, Lemponye Tshireletso to continue with his rich vein of scoring form.
The attacker leads the race for the green boot with 15 goals. Tshireletso has scored three goals in the last three games.
A rejuvenated David Makakaba will hope to start, having replaced Senatla Molefe in the starting line up in the previous games. “We do not want lose (to) focus by thinking that Sankoyo are not good travellers. We have been preparing well and we will treat them like any other team in the league,” Chiefs coach, Mike Sithole said.
Sankoyo are not the best team on the road and will look to improve their away record. They sit eighth on the log and have lost most of their games on the road, while they have proved to be tough opponents at home.
The Maun based side will once again ask 23-year old Zimbabwean striker Morris Ruzivo, who has scored 13 times so far, to provide the goals.
Goalkeeper Basimanebotlhe Moilwa is hoping for another clean sheet as he did against Extension Gunners.
Sankoyo coach, Philani Mabhena said they would go into the fixture looking to improve their position in the league.
“We have an injury free squad and there are no suspensions. We will be going there to play our normal game,” said Mabhena.
Chiefs won the first round fixture 1-0 at the Maun Sports Complex. A win will send Magosi seven points clear and reinforce the belief that the title is headed for Kgatleng.
