On Friday after Golden Arrows play against Black Leopards, and Wits will go head-to-head with the relegation-threatened AmaZulu.

On Friday evening at 18:00 the dangerous Maritzburg United face the defending champions, Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sundowns boss, Pitso Mosimane, said they have to approach each game with the right attitude.

"We thought that our game against Highlands Park would give us an edge or a game for us to win. We went with that attitude that we will win, which is proper, which is right because we want to win every match we play.

"Unfortunately we started on the wrong note where we conceded a goal and then we had to come from behind. The same way it happened with Cape Town City, we came from behind and it put a lot of stress on the team, a lot of emotions to the team.

"Probably if we start properly against Maritzburg United and don't start chasing the game again, maybe we can put our way of playing. Let's be honest, it's not coming as we want it and we know it.

"We have to understand this is where we are after a long break and physical fitness is not appropriate in terms of building up progressively, and also in terms of the match schedule.

"The program is a bit different. It's not working for us, it's working against us, but we can't be sitting on that and making excuses. But it's a fact whether you like it or not. Anybody can look at it the way they want, but it's reality.

"We are not supposed to be where we are in terms of results. Not only results but also the way we are expected to play. We understand it's the way football is."

On Saturday at 15:30 Polokwane City take on Highlands Park, while 18:00 Baroka FC will be up against Chippa United.

On Sunday Cape Town City face Orlando Pirates at 15:30, and at 18:00 the leaders Kaizer Chiefs will look to return to winnings ways when they play against Stellenbosch FC.
