Cape Town City
Currently situated in the upper echelons of the league table, Cape Town currently occupies the sixth position in the Premier League. They have amassed 35 points from 25 matches, trailing the third-placed team by eight points. With five matches remaining in the current championship, Cape Town City still has a chance to vie for the third spot. However, a victory in this match is desirable for them, as a loss would significantly diminish their chances of securing a podium finish. Nevertheless, Cape Town City has displayed unconvincing performances in their recent matches, failing to secure a win in their last five outings, with four draws and one defeat.
Orlando Pirates
The Pirates currently hold the third position in the Premier League table of South Africa. With 43 points from 25 matches, they lead their nearest pursuer by four points. Additionally, Orlando Pirates have a chance to climb to the second spot, trailing by only three points. As for the title race, it seems unattainable, with a 16-point gap from the top. Considering that a maximum of 15 points can be gained from the remaining five matches, it's evident that the championship is out of reach. However, Orlando Pirates have exhibited exceptional form in their recent matches, boasting four victories and one draw. In the previous round, they thrashed Royal AM with a resounding 4-0 victory.
