Jomo Cosmos FC host TUT FC at Isak Steyl Stadium on Saturday, 07 February 2026 at 15:00 in what promises to be a crucial ABC Motsepe Gauteng 2025/2026 fixtures encounter. With just two points separating the sides in the league table, this South African football clash carries significant weight for both teams looking to climb away from the lower reaches of the standings. Jomo Cosmos FC, sitting 12th with 21 points from 18 matches, will be eager to capitalize on home advantage against 13th-placed TUT FC, who have accumulated 19 points from 17 games.
Team Form and Head-to-Head
Jomo Cosmos FC enter this preview with mixed recent results, having won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five fixtures. Ezenkosi's most recent outing saw them fall 1-3 away to Orlando Pirates FC, though they showed attacking prowess in a 4-2 home victory over Young Pirates FC prior to that defeat. With 19 goals scored in 18 matches, Jomo Cosmos FC have struggled for consistency, conceding 24 times and carrying a goal difference of -5.
TUT FC have endured a challenging run of form, drawing three and losing two of their last five matches. The university side suffered a disappointing 0-2 home defeat to University of Johannesburg FC in their most recent outing, following back-to-back away victories against Dube Continental FC (2-0) and Dinoko City FC (3-1). With just 16 goals scored and 21 conceded across 17 matches, TUT FC have found goals hard to come by this season in the 2025/2026 campaign.
What's at Stake
The league table implications for this match analysis are significant for both sides. A victory for Jomo Cosmos FC would see them reach 24 points, potentially creating crucial breathing space between themselves and the relegation zone. Meanwhile, TUT FC could close the gap to just one point with a win, reaching 22 points and leapfrogging their opponents. With both teams carrying identical -5 goal differences, this fixture represents an opportunity to gain psychological advantage in what appears to be a tightly contested battle for ABC Motsepe Gauteng survival.
Match Prediction
Given Jomo Cosmos FC's home advantage at Isak Steyl Stadium and their slightly superior attacking record, they should edge this contest. TUT FC's recent struggles in front of goal, combined with their inability to win at home lately, suggest they may struggle to break down the hosts. Expect a cagey affair with few clear-cut chances, as both teams cannot afford defeat. Our prediction for this Jomo Cosmos FC vs TUT FC encounter is a narrow 2-1 home victory, with Ezenkosi capitalizing on set-pieces and home support to secure vital three points in their 2025/2026 fixtures.
