Sekhukhune United

The "Porcupines" had an unsuccessful run in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage, gathering only six points in six matches. They trailed the second position by four points. Consequently, the team redirected its efforts towards the league, where they managed to improve their standings. Currently, Sekhukhune sits in fourth place in the league table, accumulating 35 points from 22 matches.

It's worth acknowledging that catching up with the league leader, Mamelodi Sundowns, is clearly beyond the "Porcupines' " capabilities, and their main task is to secure the second or third position. Specifically, they are just two points away from third place. This gap emerged after the last round, where Sekhukhune United drew with Stellenbosch. This draw marked their second consecutive draw in the league, while the team remains undefeated in eight matches in the Premier League.

Stellenbosch

The "Stellies" are having a great season, and if it weren't for a stumble at the beginning of autumn, when Stellenbosch earned only one point in five Premier League matches, losing in four, Steve Barker's team would be breathing down Mamelodi Sundowns' neck. As of now, they are trailing the leader by 14 points. However, in recent rounds, the teams have been closely matched.

In the last match, Stellenbosch failed to find the key to Sekhukhune United's goal, resulting in a goalless draw at home. This draw marked the second for Steve Barker's team in the last five rounds, while Stellenbosch remains unbeaten since early October.
