SuperSport United will be eyeing the top three in the Premier Soccer League, with the team from Pretoria going up against the relegation-threatened Polokwane City.


A win for Matsatsantsa A Pitori will send them into third ahead of Orlando Pirates, while Rise and Shine will want to move ahead of their neighbours Baroka FC into 13th.

This game at the Bidvest Stadium in Johannesburg kicks off at 15:30.

The big one of the day will see Bloemfontein Celtic hosting the leaders, Kaizer Chiefs, in the capital city.

Phunya Sele Sele coach, John Maduka, told OFM Sport that he expects nothing less than a tough outing, and concentration for the full 90 minutes will be important.

“I think about the goal that we conceded against SuperSport United. We defended well against them. In the open play, they could not score. They had to score through a set-piece, and that tells you that the team defended well.

“Going into the game against Chiefs, we know that it’s going to be a very difficult game.

“We have tried in the space of two days to fix some of the problems that we had in that game. Going into this one we have to make sure that we are clear and do well.

“We have to defend well and we have to concentrate throughout the match. It will give as a chance to get the result that we want, and that is a win.”

Kick-off at the Tuks Stadium is at 18:00.
