With only four matches remaining, every point is valuable, but maximum points are crucial for teams chasing their respective targets.

At the bottom of the standings, Orbit College FC occupy last place, with just one point separating them from Marumo Gallants and Magesi FC, as all three sides look to avoid automatic relegation and secure a playoff lifeline.

Meanwhile, in the race for a Top 8 finish, Sekhukhune United and Durban City will be aiming to solidify their positions, while Siwelele will be pushing to qualify for next season's MTN8.

Chippa United v Sekhukhune United

With only four points separating them from bottom-placed Orbit College FC, Chippa United are far from safe, making their clash against Sekhukhune United crucial - especially with home advantage at Buffalo City Stadium.

The Chilli Boys sit 13th on the table with 24 points from 26 matches. They head into this encounter on the back of a heavy 5-1 defeat to AmaZulu FC, having previously played to a 1-1 draw with Polokwane City at home.

With three losses, one draw, and one win in their last five outings, it has once again been a demanding season for Chippa.

They face a Sekhukhune side that has enjoyed a solid campaign despite the departure of head coach Eric Tinkler, with Paulus Masehe stepping in as interim coach.

Currently fifth on the table with 39 points, Babina Noko will be looking to consolidate their position, with a fourth-place finish still within reach as they trail third-placed AmaZulu by just three points.

Magesi FC v Orbit College FC

This relegation showdown between Magesi FC and Orbit College FC is set to be a tense affair at Seshego Stadium. With only one point separating the two sides, the outcome could play a decisive role in determining who avoids automatic relegation.

Orbit sit at the bottom of the table with 20 points, while Magesi are just above them in 14th place with 21 points in the 16-team league.

The timing of this clash is significant, and the winner will gain a major confidence boost in their fight for survival.

As newcomers to the Betway Premiership, Orbit have found life in the top flight challenging. Despite showing promise, results have not gone their way, with just five wins in 26 matches highlighting their struggles.

For Magesi, the relegation battle is a familiar scenario. The Limpopo-based side brought in experienced coach Allan Freese to help steer them to safety, but results have been inconsistent.

Both teams head into this encounter following draws in their previous matches, although Magesi will take confidence from their 3-1 win over Orbit in the reverse fixture.

Siwelele FC v Durban City FC

A place in the MTN8 will be on the line when Siwelele FC host Durban City FC at Dr Molemela Stadium.

Backed by strong home support, Siwelele will be eager to secure maximum points and boost their chances of breaking into the top eight.

They currently sit ninth on the table with 32 points from 26 matches, just three points behind eighth-placed Golden Arrows.

Their recent 2-0 victory over Kaizer Chiefs will serve as a significant morale boost heading into this encounter.

However, Durban City will also be full of confidence after lifting the Nedbank Cup with victory over TS Galaxy this past weekend. But, head coach Pitso Dladla will be hoping his side remains focused on the league task at hand, with City currently seventh on the table with 36 points from 26 matches.
