Lijabatho vs CFFAPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

This round is a knockout tie and offers no league table to lean on: what counts are the recent outings and the head-to-head, which here is very recent indeed. On 5 September the two sides met at CFFA's ground and the result was a 2-0 win for the hosts. Lijabatho come in off that defeat, the first setback in a spell that had been solid until then. Before the 2-0 they had drawn 0-0 away at Majantja, won 8-0 against Mzamane, taken a 1-0 at Matlama and beaten Lioli 4-0. In four of their five most recent matches they kept a clean sheet. CFFA have been far more uneven. Their 2-0 win over Lijabatho came after three straight defeats: 1-2 away to Royal Leopards, 2-3 at home to the same opponent and 0-3 at home to Interclube. Their previous victory was a 2-1 away at Kabwe Warriors. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
