Ajax Cape Town face Thanda Royal Zulu at Newlands on Thursday night.The Urban Warriors are in desperate need of three points as they look to breathe life into the end of their PSL campaign.
Ajax are currently in eight place but they are not certain of retaining that spot as the teams below them are only a few points behind them.
Thanda, meanwhile are facing a different battle as they are in a relegation spot so they will not give the Cape side an easy task of beating them.
It has been! the teams threatened by relegation that have been Ajax's crutch this season and captain Brett Evans says this could be because the smaller teams know more about them.
"I think the biggest factor of why we might slip up against these teams is that they know the kind of football we play, and they are little more cautious, they sit back and defend. We obviously try and play our game and then it becomes a bit of a stalemate and it's frustrating," says the skipper.
Kick off for the game is at 19h30.
