With Michaelson

Wits and Polokwane City meet at the Bidvest Stadium in the only Absa Premiership clash tonight. Gavin Hunt’s side are early favourites to win the championship.

As solid as the Students have been in their opening six games – they are not without blemish as SuperSport United managed to rock their boat with a 1-0 win last month.

With that in mind, Polokwane City stand a chance to get something out of the game. Rise and Shine have won twice and drawn once in the last three outings, in contrast to Wits’ loss, win and draw.

While Wits have dominated this fixture overall in the past, last season Hunt’s side failed to beat Jozef Vukusic’s side, and it is high time the former league champions stamp their authority over the Limpopo-based side.
