Black Leopards will be on the hunt for three Absa Premiership points when they welcome Cape Town City to the Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday 10 November 2019, kick-off at 15h30.

Leopards, in their last outing on October 25, twice came from a goal behind to secure a 2-2 draw at SuperSport United, with goals from Chris Katjiukua and Pentjie Zulu. Lidoda Duvha have taken four points from five home matches in the 2019/20 campaign.
