Stellies are placed fifth on the league standings - three points behind second-placed Royal AM as the battle to finish in the top two positions intensifies in the second round of the current campaign.

Steve Barker, the AmaZulu head coach, described their encounter against AmaZulu as a six-pointer with the Western Cape side keen to secure a win in Durban, saying:

"A positive result against AmaZulu puts up joint second along with Royal AM. So, there is a lot to play for. AmaZulu are a team that is doing well.They have done well against big teams in the Champions League and this makes them a formidable opposition.

They also have their own ambitions of being on top in the our league. So, these are the type of games we see as a six-pointer. It is a massive game for us."
