The other big game of this round of fixtures sees Orlando Pirates visit Gavin Hunt’s Chippa United in Port Elizabeth at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in what promises to be an interesting affair while Kaizer Chiefs host rookies Royal AM.
Elsewhere, there will be interest in the Limpopo derby where Baroka will be playing hosts for newbies Sekhukhune United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium while another interesting match-up takes place at Athlone Stadium between Cape Town City and Stellenbosch in the Cape derby.
AmaZulu and Marumo Gallants will not be in DStv Premiership action this weekend as they are involved in the preliminaries of the Caf Confederation Cup against Nyasa Big Bullets in Malawi and Futuro Kings of Equatorial Guinea in Polokwane.
Chippa United VS Orlando Pirates
Orlando Pirates will be looking for their second DStv Premiership win of the season when they take on Chippa United at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium and they will have to do it without injured Thembinkosi Lorch, Richard Ofori, Zakhele Lepasa and Innocent Maela.
On the other hand, Chippa United, who have accumulated four points from their opening three matches, will be looking to bring to an end their match run without a win over Pirates.
