Both teams march into this match with a great deal of motivation from their most recent performances. Buffaloes nearly pulled off a comeback in the 12-10 loss against Pirates while Impis held on for a 20-19 victory over Rhinos.
The two are tied at 9 points apiece on the Nile Special Stout Rugby Premier League table. But Buffaloes are ahead in seventh place due to having a better points difference.
