In the Limpopo derby, struggling Magesi, in pursuit of saving their top-tier status, will host neighbours Polokwane City at Seshego Stadium, in what promises to be an entertaining clash between the Northern rivals.

Meanwhile, the other match will see Gavin Hunt's Stellenbosch lock horns with Arthur Zwane's AmaZulu at the Danie Craven Stadium, a fixture that could have implications for the top half of the league.

Magesi v Polokwane City

With three points away from safety, Magesi will approach this tie fully focused on earning maximum points, especially after securing a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Stellenbosch in their previous league match.

Dikwena tsa Meetse, under the leadership of Allan Freese, remain anchored at the bottom of the league table with 12 points from 17 matches. A win in this derby could prove vital for their survival hopes and give their fans something to cheer for.

However, victory will not come easy against a Polokwane City side that is eyeing a push into the top half of the table. The Rise and Shine team currently sit seventh on the log standings with 25 points from 17 matches.

With quality and experience in their squad, Polokwane will be determined to extend their good run while claiming bragging rights in this local rivalry.

Stellenbosch v AmaZulu

Having claimed maximum points against Kaizer Chiefs in their last match, Stellies will head into the Usuthu clash brimming with confidence. The team is eager to climb the standings after a rocky start this campaign, currently sitting in 11th spot with 19 points from 17 matches.

With the CAF Confederation Cup and Nedbank Cup out of the picture, coach Gavin Hunt now has more time to focus on the league and prepare his squad for consecutive wins, continuing their three-game unbeaten streak.

Usuthu, meanwhile, are aiming high this season, but facing Stellies will be a stern test. Zwane's charges come off a narrow 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns, and this match presents a chance to bounce back and maintain their top-half standing.

Currently fifth with 30 points from 18 matches, AmaZulu will aim to secure all three points and continue their push for a strong league finish.

Both fixtures promise fireworks, with survival, pride, and league positioning all on the line, ensuring fans get an entertaining Friday night of football.
