Milford and Durban City meet often enough to know each other's game well, but this time the pattern looks quite different from usual, because Milford are in a spell where their defence has tightened up a lot, while Durban City have just come back from CAF cup duty and still cannot find their rhythm in the league. Milford have just thrashed their opponents 5-1 in their latest match, and before that kept clean sheets in two of their last five, so an attack that had gone quiet is buzzing again. Durban City, meanwhile, won two in a row in the cup, but back in the league they lost 0-2 in their latest match and have scored only three goals in six league games. If Milford get the opening goal from a spell of sustained pressure, Durban City, who already sit deep, will likely shut up shop even more and focus on waiting to counter. The game will slow down further and finish with few goals, which is the path the hosts are more comfortable handling.
