Baroka are now coached by Dylan Kerr, while Polokwane are being trained by Clinton Larsen.
Both teams come from defeats after Baroka lost 1-0 to Golden Arrows, while Polokwane were hammered 4-1 by Orlando Pirates.
Larsen has rallied his team to bounce back in the derby from the debilitating thrashing.
"It's up to us now to show character and respond positively going forward. Our aim is to get four wins and at least four draws in the remaining games in order to survive," Larsen said.
Kerr, who has been awaiting his work permit, could make his debut in the derby. The England-born coach expressed his keenness to start collecting points.
"Obviously, I'm itching to get into it and be there during games. We are currently not in a good position on the table, but I am positive we can make up for it in the second half of the season."
