The Kaizer Chiefs title challenge seems to keep gathering momentum and it will resume after a weekend of Nedbank Cup action with a visit from Maritzburg United who have been troubling teams all season under Eric Tinkler. Their last league encounter ended in a 1-1 draw last December and you have to go back to 2015 for the last time Amakhosi lost an Absa Premiership game against the Team of Choice.
While the occasion of a Soweto Derby itself is always enough to attract great focus, the next one on leap year day could really be a season-defining clash. The reverse Absa Premiership fixture ended in an exciting 3-2 win for Amakhosi and they will fancy their chances of getting their first league double against the Buccaneers in the PSL era.
Along with the Soweto Derby, the last day of the month also sees SuperSport United host Bidvest Wits in another blockbuster Absa Premiership clash. Both teams are in close proximity to each other near the top of the table and Gavin Hunt will be keen to get one over his old team after losing twice against Matsatsantsa this season in the league and the MTN8.
