Varsity Football round 6 preview: leaders UJ host in-form UWC

Varsity Football League leaders UJ host third-placed UWC in the standout fixture of round 6, while bottom side UL look for a first win against UP-Tuks.

UJ vs UWC – Friday, 17:00, UJ Soweto Stadium

Unbeaten log leaders UJ, who have won four of their five matches this season, host a UWC side just four points behind them in third. UWC have drawn three of their last four outings, and a win here would put real pressure on the pace-setters heading into the business end of the season.

UFS vs DUT – Friday, 18:30, Shimla Park

Seventh-placed UFS and sixth-placed DUT go head-to-head level on four points apiece, both sides having managed just a single win from their opening five matches. With both teams still searching for consistency, this looks like a genuine battle to avoid the bottom of the table.

TUT vs Wits – Friday, 18:30, Wits Stadium

Second-placed Wits, fresh off a 2-1 win over UP-Tuks last time out, will look to keep the pressure on UJ at the top when they take on fifth-placed TUT, who arrive full of confidence after a 3-2 win over DUT in round 5.

UP-Tuks vs UL – Friday, 19:15, Tuks Stadium

UP-Tuks will be eager to bounce back after their defeat to Wits, but face a UL side desperate for their first win of the campaign. UL have drawn their last two matches and remain bottom of the table, but a positive result here would be a timely boost.
