The new DStv Premiership fixtures continue this weekend with some potential explosive clashes across the country.
The weekend’s opening game sets the tone as Stellenbosch entertains Royal AM at home. Thwihli Thwahla are unbeaten in their two opening league matches and will be hoping to maintain their good run.
On the other hand, all eyes are on the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in an encounter deemed as the biggest match of the weekend where Mamelodi Sundowns welcome rivals Kaizer Chiefs in a sold-out affair. Bafana Ba Style comes into this game as wounded tigers having suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to TS Galaxy on Wednesday.
Downs will need to improve to satisfy their fans’ expectations against the Soweto giants who got their mojo back following their 3-0 over Maritzburg United on Tuesday night.
AmaZulu will be hoping to extend their winning streak when they lock horns with struggling Cape Town City on their turf, but the Citizens will be optimistic to get their first win of the season to show that they are not in it just to add numbers.
Sekhukhune United impressed in the mid-week fixture when they got the better of Golden Arrows 1-0 at Peter Mokaba Stadium, but face a tough away match against newcomers Richards Bay, who are yet to lose a game in the top-flight. Football fanatics are promised a tactical battle between the two teams through the showdown.
On Sunday, Orlando Pirates will go head-to-head with Chippa United, who travels on the back of its heavy defeat to Royal AM during the week. A win for Daine Klate against his former club would give the Chilli Boys a great boost as the season progresses.
