A month later, Wanderers downed Township Rollers 3-1 at home in a game the Blues needed to increase their advantage at the top of the log. This Saturday afternoon, the FNB Premiership's acclaimed spoilers will look to dim the shining Galaxy Stars as the two teams clash at the Palapye Stadium. Despite the might of their opponents, Wanderers would enter the fray with their tails high on Saturday. The team has lost only once in a 10-match run and that was against Orapa United. The defeat against the miners was their only at home in 10 games.
Wanderers set themselves as serious campaigners as they are unbeaten in the last three games whilst they also recorded a single defeat since the start of the second round of the campaign. Despite their impressive run, Wanderers have only won twice in the last five games and played to a draw in a further two more games as the Orapa defeat spoiled their unbeaten spell. The team has recorded wins against each of the four sides challenging for the title with the exception of TAFIC and their weekend's opponents, Galaxy. In the first round fixture, Galaxy beat Wanderers 1-0 at the Galaxy Stadium. The champions are in better shape than the December tie as a number of key players including goalkeeper Goitseone Phoko and influential midfielder are regaining their fitness. Galaxy's unbeaten 22 games run is a stern warning to opponents and Wanderers would be worried. The champions are, however, not getting maximum points as often as they should be in a tight title race. Galaxy, in a 10 games run, have played to five draws whilst finding the back of the net on 14 occasions, presenting a lower goal return than their fellow title chasers.
