Gaborone United (GU), the football giant currently grappling with a recent downturn in form, will clash with Security Systems at the Lobatse Sports Complex. Pontsho Moloi’s charges are determined to reverse their fortunes after relinquishing five vital points in the last two games.

This downturn allowed Township Rollers, the league leaders, to extend their advantage to six points at the top.

This marks the first instance in the ongoing campaign in which GU has dropped points in consecutive games. Nevertheless, they maintain their second position with 20 points from a possible 30, having played 10 games. Meanwhile, Security Systems, despite a sluggish start to the league following a change in the technical team, have silently ascended. Over the weekend, the team, affectionately known as the Alarm Boys, surprised Orapa United with a 2-1 victory.
