Durban City will be looking to bounce back from a string of defeats, and with no injuries to worry about, they might just have the edge.

Orbit College, on the other hand, is struggling to find their footing, with a series of losses weighing them down. They’ll need to tighten up defensively and hope their midfield can control the game. However, given their current form, it might be a tough ask to snatch a win away from home.Orbit College, on the other hand, is struggling to find their footing, with a series of losses weighing them down.

They’ll be eager to turn things around and regain some momentum.Durban City has been on a rough patch, losing four of their last five matches.

Orbit College
