Teams: Sekhukhune United v Maritzburg United
Date: 16 March 2022
Venue: Ellis Park
Time: 17h30
This could be a rather interesting encounter, with Maritzburg having improved since acquiring new players during the recent transfer window and having climbed out of the relegation zone after two wins in their last three games.
The home side, Sekhukhune, have not been great in their last few league games losing three out of the four played.
In the league standings, Sekhukhune are placed ninth on 28 points from 21 games while Maritzburg are 12th with 21 points from 21 games played.
In head-to-head encounters the two sides have only ever faced each other twice with a win apiece.
In a Nedbank Cup match on February 5 2021, hosts Maritzburg won the match 2-1. The second match was a league encounter on 25 August 2021 at Harry Gwala Stadium, which Sekhukhune secured a 2-0 victory thanks to two goals by Chibuike Ohizu.
