The Pretoria side, SuperSport United is leading the way at the top of the log with four points.
The ‘Matsatsantsa-A-Pitori’ as affectionally known, will be facing Benni McCarthy’s AmaZulu, currently having bad start of the season with no win.
Ahead of this week’s masterpiece clashes, the most anticipated matches to entice fans will be the original Soweto Derby (Orlando Pirates vs Swallows FC) and two giants from the topflight (Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs).
Pirates who are eyeing to jump to the top eight of the log table, will look at avenging themselves over Swallows FC, after being dumped out of the MTN 8 last month.
