The Buccaneers will travel to Polokwane to face Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday as they look to keep momentum going.
Mamelodi Sundowns were knocked off the top of the Betway Premiership on goal difference over the weekend and will now look to get first place back at home to Golden Arrows on Wednesday.
