Cape Town City FC and Milford FC will begin their promotion/relegation play-off campaign on Tuesday afternoon knowing a strong start could shape the direction of their entire season.
The two Motsepe Foundation Championship sides meet at Athlone Stadium in the opening round-robin fixture, as they battle alongside Magesi FC for a place in next season’s Betway Premiership. City enter the play-offs carrying momentum after a strong finish to the campaign.
The Mother City outfit ended the season in second place following an impressive late surge that included victories against Gomora United, Baroka and Leicesterford City in their final three matches. Much of their consistency arrived through a lengthy unbeaten run earlier in the season which briefly pushed them into automatic promotion contention.
Although they ultimately fell short of top spot, City remain one of the favourites to emerge successfully from the play-offs. Coach Jan Vreman believes his side possesses enough quality and belief to secure an immediate return to the Premiership.
