The Galaxy Stadium turf will turn into a battle on Saturday as two sides expected to challenge for the league honours, Jwaneng Galaxy and Township Rollers come face-to-face.

Reigning champions, Jwaneng Galaxy, welcome the record league winners, Township Rollers in what is expected to be a thrilling contest. Galaxy have turned the Galaxy Stadium into a fortress since their promotion in 2015, as teams do not enjoy the trip to the diamond mining town.
