Today, the Peleng giants are number seven on the log standings after two straight defeats with seven points, five behind log leaders, Young Stars. Notwane on the other hand went into last weekend sitting at position two, just one point behind Young Stars. Today they are at position five with eight points. Both sides go into tomorrow’s encounter still leaking wounds from the past weekend’s losses. Notwane suffered a 2-1 defeat to Young Stars at home while Gunners lost 1-0 to Tlokweng United.
