Cape Town City FC aim to extend their winning run when they visit Orbit College in the South African First Division this week. The side from the Mother City are in strong form, sitting third in the table with 14 points from seven games, a record built on four wins and two draws from their seven matches.
They travel on the back of a 3-2 away victory over Gomora United last Thursday. That followed a 3-1 home win against The Bees four days earlier. Their only recent slip was a goalless draw at NWU FC in mid-September. The team's recent form across the last five games is four wins and a draw, putting them on a two-game winning run.
Recent form and league position
This consistent run has seen the club climb to third place. Their record of four wins, two draws and a single defeat leaves them just three points behind leaders Magesi. With 12 goals scored and only seven conceded, they have a healthy goal difference of plus five.
Their recent fixtures show a team gathering momentum. Before the draw with NWU, they secured a 2-0 win at Hope FC and opened September with a 2-1 home victory over Hungry Lions. This sequence of results has solidified their place in the upper reaches of the standings.
Orbit College, their next opponents, present a different challenge. They currently occupy 14th position in the league. The match is scheduled for Friday, 23 October, with a 19:30 local time kick-off. Cape Town City will be targeting another three points to keep the pressure on the teams above them.
