AS the Premiership gears up for a spectacular Saturday with six matches kicking off simultaneously at 3pm, the schedule is brimming with intense rivalries and the potential for unexpected twists.
The teams will be vying for crucial points that could shape their seasons.
Each club brings its own narrative, and the outcomes have the potential to reshape the Premiership log on a day that marks the final matches for 12 teams.
Four other teams - Orlando Pirates, Magesi FC, Golden Arrows, and SuperSport United - each have one outstanding fixture following Saturday’s round.
Every goal scored and every point earned will matter more than ever, with several positions potentially being decided on goal difference as the PSL season reaches its climax.
CAF Confederation Cup ticket
A gripping showdown is set as Stellenbosch FC and Sekhukhune United battle for a coveted place in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.
With just one match remaining, the stakes could not be higher. Stellenbosch currently sit third, holding a slender one-point lead.
