Golden Arrows vs. Witbank Spurs, Chatsworth Stadium, 15H30

The teams currently boasting the best defensive records do battle, Arrows yet to concede a goal, while Spurs having conceded 3 goals in 7 matches. Upfront however is where log leading Abafana Bes'thende needs to sharpen, having only scored 4 goals, leaving them tied with Garankuwa as the team with the least goals scored.

 

Santos FC vs. Cape Town All Stars, Athlone Stadium, 19H30

There will be no neighbourly love as The Peoples team reaches for the Stars. Both teams head into the Cape Derby on the back of disappointing defeats. Santos will look to tighten up at the back, having conceded 13 goals in 7 matches, while Stars aims to shine in front of goal.

 

Royal Eagles vs. Black Leopards, King Zwelithini Stadium, 19H30

Lidoda Duvha heads the Eagles nest full of confidence, having scored 9 goals in 3 matches without conceding a single goal. The host however find themselves flying low in the relegation zone, hoping to turn their fortunes around after parting ways with Coach Duncan Lechesa.

 

Garankuwa United vs. Jomo Cosmos, Pilditch Stadium, 19H30

Garankuwa heads into Fridays encounter with history on their side, having not lost a game to Cosmos in 5 matches played. United’s current form however sees them on a 4 match losing streak, desperately needing 3 points. They will have it all to do against a Cosmos team currently on a 4 match unbeaten run.

Vasco Da Gama vs. FC Cape Town, Parow Park, 15H30

An intense Parow Derby can be expected, with both teams currently tied on 14 points, 1 point behind log leaders Arrows. The African Beasts currently occupy 2nd position on the log, while Vasco is 4th due to goal difference. The battle will surely be on, as in 6 previous meetings the teams find themselves all squared with 3 wins and 3 losses.

 

Thanda Royal Zulu FC vs. Highlands Park, Umhlathuze Sports Complex, 15H30

The Lions do battle as Amabhubesi welcomes The Lions of The North. Thanda currently find themselves roaring the loudest, as they occupy 6th position on the log, while Highlands currently 12th. Amabhubesi however is yet to secure 3 points at home, while the visitors searches for their first win on the road. 

 

Maluti FET College vs. Milano United AFC, Charles Mopeli Stadium, 15H30

The promotional driven Kinnes travels to the Free State, in search of their 3rd consecutive away win. Bottom dwelling Maluti will surely be looking for a change of fortune, after receiving a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Black Leopards. Maluti will have it all to do, as they currently hold the worst defensive record with 18 goals conceded. 

 

Baroka FC vs. African Warriors, Peter Mokaba Stadium, 15H30

10th placed Bakgaga will need nothing less than 3 points, if they intend catching up with the leading pack. Baroka last tasted a victory 7 matches ago. They host a Warriors team who is yet to lose a match under Coach Abram Nteo.
