Wits claimed their first win of the season in their previous outing, beating Golden Arrows 1-0 at home following a season-opening goalless draw away to Platinum Stars. That has left them sixth on the log with four points.
Ajax suffered their first defeat of the campaign in their last match, losing 2-1 at home to AmaZulu. This, coupled with a draw against Arrows at the start of August, has them 12th on the log.
In head-to-head stats, Wits and Ajax have met in 26 League matches since 1999/2000, with honours even at eight draws apiece.
Wits have won four of their 13 matches at home against the Urban Warriors, losing three times in the process.
And last season they took four points off Ajax, drawing 0-0 in Johannesburg before winning 2-0 in Cape Town, with Asiwe Langwe and Ryan Chapman.
