Kaizer Chiefs have lost their last four games in a row, for their worst sequence of results since the Premier Soccer League kicked off in 1996, piling pressure on them to get something out of tonight’s game against cup finalists Marumo Gallants. More details at www.soccer6.co.za

M1 Inter Turku vs HJK Helsinki: Inter Turku were surprise 4-1 winners away at HJK a fortnight ago but are three points behind the team from the Finnish capital in the early season league standings.

M2 SuperSport United vs Stellenbosch FC: Since Andre Arendse took over as coach of SuperSport, they have beaten Kaizer Chiefs away and kept successive clean sheets. Stellenbosch still have a chance of a top three finish.

M3 Swallows FC vs AmaZulu: Swallows remain in relegation trouble despite not losing any of their last three games. AmaZulu have not conceded in the three games since Brandon Truter took over.

M4 Sekhukhune United vs Mamelodi Sundowns: Sekhukhune have not won any of their last seven games, drafting Owen da Gama in to help them. Sundowns have already won the league and can now experiment a little for next season.

M5 Halmstad vs Ostersunds FK: Halmstad have won their last two fixtures, which were both 1-0 away triumphs. There has been only one triumph in four league games for Ostersund.

M6 Kaizer Chiefs vs Marumo Gallants: Chiefs have now lost four in a row, their worst sequence since the PSL started in 1997. Gallants were winners on Friday of their Nedbank Cup semi-final and contest the final on May 28.

M7 AFC Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest: These sides are wrestling for the second automatic promotion spot in the Championship with Bournemouth three points ahead and able to make sure if they win this game.

M8 Villarreal vs Liverpool: Villarreal have plenty of work to do to keep alive their hopes of reaching a first Champions League final as Liverpool, aiming for their third in five seasons, defend a 2-0 first-leg lead.

M9 Caracas vs Libertad: Caracas lost 2-1 away to Libertad earlier in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. Libertad have seven points and Caracas only two in Group B.

M10 Deportivo Tachira vs Emelec: These sides are battling for second spot in Group A of the Copa Libertadores behind runaway leaders Palmeiras. Tachira have four points from three games and Emelec two.
