Here is a quick guide to the two games.
Polokwane City double-header for Sundowns
Sundowns have the first of two games against Polokwane City in a matter of five days in what is almost like a home-and-away cup tie, although both results matter for points.
Wednesday’s away clash was supposed to be Sundowns’ final game of the league season but has been moved due to their participation in the CAF Champions League final.
The match on Sunday at home in Pretoria is also a rescheduled fixture from earlier in the season and will be played on the weekend of the Nedbank Cup final, meaning that, come Sunday night, Sundowns could be five points clear at the top of the table, albeit having played a game more than second-placed Orlando Pirates.
Pirates will be hoping Polokwane can do them a huge favour, though, and take points off Sundowns in at least one of those games to even things up in the title race again.
It is not inconceivable either. Polokwane beat Sundowns 1-0 at home in the league last season and also drew 0-0 away the campaign before that. Sundowns also needed extra time to beat them 1-0 in the 2024 MTN8, so this is a team that troubles the Brazilians.
There has never been a draw between the sides in Polokwane. In nine previous matches, City have won three, to go with six victories for Sundowns.
Miguel Cardoso’s side are on a run of successive draws in the league for the first time in over two years, and they have not had three draws in a row since April 2023.
Polokwane are unbeaten in four games (W2 D2) and have only lost twice at home all season, though seven draws in their 13 games is too many.
They will climb to fifth with a win, which would cap what has already been an excellent season for them so far. Victory would likely ensure MTN8 qualification for next season too.
Chiefs push for third place
Chiefs could all but secure a top-three finish if they win away at Siwelele on Wednesday, but they must beware the draw.
Chiefs are five points ahead of fourth-placed AmaZulu with a game in hand, and if they extend the gap to eight, it is hard to see them giving up that spot in the four games that will remain.
Siwelele are on a run of three draws in a row and have 11 in 25 games so far this campaign, more than any team in the top division.
They have only managed 13 goals, comfortably the lowest in the top flight, but conversely have the fifth-best defence, with just 17 goals conceded.
The total of 30 goals at both ends in 25 games means there has been little thrilling action for fans and explains why one goal might be enough for either side in this one.
Chiefs have been very good on the road this campaign, with exactly two points per game from their 11 matches and just a single defeat, which was at Richards Bay last month.
They have conceded only four goals on the road so far, while Siwelele have conceded only five at home in 12 games.
