Amakhosi were unable to bounce back from their disappointing 1-0 loss to TS Galaxy in the Nedbank Cup, after they were held to a goalless draw by Cape Town City two weeks ago.
The Glamour Boys sit fifth on the standings , just two points behind second-placed Orlando Pirates and could get ahead of their Soweto rivals on the log if they win.
Bakgaga, meanwhile, had a good reopening of their campaign after progressing to the round of 16 in the Nedbank Cup with a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch and held Mamelodi Sundowns to a 1-1 draw in the league.
However, the Limpopo-based side had a wake-up call last Sunday after they were hammered 4-0 by Sekhukhune United.
Kgoloko Thobejane's charges are rooted at the bottom of the log, three points behind 14th-placed Chippa United and will be desperate to get out of the relegation zone.
Chiefs will be looking to complete a rare league double over Baroka after edging securing a 2-1 in the early stages of the season at FNB Stadium.
