Bloemfontein Celtic will be hoping to end their winless streak in the Absa Premiership when they host Maritzburg United at the Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium on Sunday.
Kick-off is at 3:30pm.
Phunya Sele Sele suffered a 1-0 defeat to Chippa United at home in their previous league game last week Sunday.
The Free State side have tasted victory once in their last five league matches. They have drawn two matches and lost the same number of games.
Celtic are placed 12th on the Absa Premiership standings having accumulated 22 points from 19 matches.
Siwelele head coach Serame Letsoaka remains hopeful that his side will soon return to winning ways despite their poor finishing in front of goal.
“We are missing a lot of chances. But we have five games away and six at home in the remaining fixtures," Letsoaka said.
"We should turn things around
this weekend against Maritzburg United, who have been struggling. The gap between the teams in the top eight is also not that wide. I am not worried.”
Meanwhile, Maritzburg will be desperate to end their winless run in the league when they travel to Bloemfontein to face Celtic.
The Team of Choice played to a 1-1 stalemate with Platinum Stars at home in their previous league game last week Saturday.
Zimbabwean forward Evans Rusike hit the back of the net for Maritzburg at the Harry Gwala Stadium.
The KwaZulu-Natal's side have lost three of their last five league matches. They drew the other two games against Orlando Pirates and Stars.
Maritzburg are placed 16th on the Absa Premiership standings having accumulated nine points from 18 matches.
Maritzburg defender Philani Zulu has urged his teammates not to lose hope in their quest to avoid relegation this season.
“We are last on the log but that doesn't mean we should keep our heads down. We have to play each and every game like a final. Zulu said.
"We have to play until the final whistle. Every step we take, it’s about going forward, trying to win every game,” he concluded.
When Celtic and Maritzburg met in the first-round encounter, the former emerged 2-0 winners at the Harry Gwala Stadium in September, 2015.
Thapelo Morena and an own goal by Tamsanqa Teyise handed Phunya Sele Sele the victory on the day.
