Now that we've passed the halfway mark of the season, the league table has taken shape and it's clear that we're in for fascinating contests when it comes to the title race, the relegation battle as well as the scrap to finish in the top eight. Take a look at some of the standout league fixtures in what could be a key time of the Absa Premiership season.
Pirates have rediscovered their winning touch under new coach Josef Zinnbauer and will look to keep their form going against an AmaZulu team who need points to stay clear of the relegation zone. The Buccaneers won this fixture 4-1 last season, which was the last time they managed to score four goals in a home game.
Is this the season that Chiefs will end their title drought? It's looking more and more promising for Amakhosi after going into the new year top of the table. They'll face a test of their credentials against Golden Arrows later this month in a fixture the Glamour Boys lost 2-1 last season.
