The El Kaapico returns to the Mother City, as the log leading Kinnes host their city rivals Vasco. There will surely be no neighbourly love from Vasco, as they look to make up for their recent home loss. On the goal front Milano is leading the way with 9 goals scored, 6 of those being at home.

Black Leopards vs. Maluti FET College, Thohoyandou Stadium, 15H30
Both teams have not experienced the best of starts to the NFD season. Leopards had to resort to a coaching change, which saw them rocket up to 7th position on the log, while Maluti still finds themselves rock bottom. Whenever these teams play each other it rains goals. Last season a total of 15 goals were scored in 2 matches, Leopards handing out the lessons, with a 7-4 home and 1-3 away win.
Golden Arrows vs. Garankuwa United, Chatsworth Stadium, 15H30
Arrows continue their impressive defensive record, having not conceded a goal in 6 matches. Upfront however is where the Shaun Bartlett coached team needs some sharpening. Garankuwa on the other hand is experiencing a slight slump, having lost their last 3 matches. 6 points separates 3rd placed Arrows from 12th Garankuwa. A win or even a goal for Garankuwa, will see them achieve what 6 teams before them have failed to do.
FC Cape Town vs. Baroka FC, NNK Rugby Stadium, 15H30
2nd placed African Beasts is surely having a near perfect start to the season, after flirting with relegation a season ago. Saturday will see them welcome 11th placed Baroka, a team who holds a perfect winning record against the Beasts. This season however Bakgaga is desperately in search of their second win of the season, as they last tasted a victory in their opening match.
African Warriors vs. Witbank Spurs, Charles Mopeli Stadium, 15H30
A change in coach resulted in a change in fortune for Warriors, as they recorded their 1st win of the season. 4 points currently separate 6th placed from 14th Warriors. The Free State based Warriors welcomes their boggy team Siyavutha, who have not lost a match to Warriors in 6 previous meetings. 4 of those matches ended in wins for Spurs, while Warriors only managing 2 draws.

Highlands Park vs. Royal Eagles, Makhulong Stadium, 15H30
The Lions of the North welcomes the low flying Eagles, who currently find themselves 2nd from bottom, two places below Highlands. Pressure however will be on the Eagles Coach, Duncan Lechesa whose team has lost 4 out of 6 matches. Highlands will surely need to cash in on all 3 points as they face the big spending Eagles.
Jomo Cosmos vs. Santos FC, Vaal University of Technology, 15H30
The Peoples Team heads up to the Vaal, where they will encounter an old foe in Ezenkhozi. The match will also see two of South Africa’s 2002 World Cup coaching staff, do battle against each other.
