Their sole victory came against Joburg City FC (2-1) back in October, followed by a 1-1 draw with Germiston Ashfire United FC.
Samba Boys FC arrive at Woodlands International College in even more concerning form, sitting bottom of the table with just 2 points from 7 matches.

What's at Stake
The league table implications make this a must-win encounter for both sides.
