The Brazilians pulled off the league double over the Students last season – first coming away with a 2-0 win at Bidvest Stadium before registering an identical scoreline at home.
They go into the game fresh off a goalless draw against Bloemfontein Celtic and will hope to bounce back against the Students.
On the other hand, Wits will look to consolidate their position at the top of the log ahead of the international break, but it won’t be easy against defending league champions.
Coach Gavin Hunts’ men come into this game on a high having handed Cape Town City a 2-0 dubbing in their last encounter.
