Cape Town City are hoping to bounce back into the Betway Premiership when they face beleaguered Baroka FC in the penultimate round of the Motsepe Foundation Championship at the Athlone Stadium in the Mother City this afternoon.
The Citizens will be buoyed by the fact that Baroka have already suffered their fate and have been relegated to the third tier of local football, the ABC Motsepe League. This means that the match is a dead rubber affair for the Polokwane side, and City can boost their hopes of securing a play-offs berth.
After Kruger United won automatic promotion, City are vying for the number two or third play-offs spot with Milford FC, who are on second position.
City, who had gone three matches without a win, recorded a confidence-boosting 4-0 victory over Gomora while Lions were held to a goalless draw by Upington City.
