Matsatsantsa will be looking to keep their league title dreams alive with a win against Celtic, while Siwelele will be looking to move away from the bottom half of the log table.

A win for SuperSport will see them move to third spot on the log above Orlando Pirates with the same number of games played.

Following Lehlohonolo Seema’s departure to Chippa United, Celtic legend John Maduka will be hoping to begin his tenure as head coach with a victory this evening.
