Teams: Mamelodi Sundowns v Maritzburg United
Date: 05 May 2021
Venue: Loftus Versfeld
Mamelodi Sundowns will have a chance to extend their lead at the top of the DStv Premiership when they host Maritzburg United on Wednesday afternoon.
The match will get underway at 15h00.
Sundowns ended their three-game winless run in the league and returned to the top of the table after thrashing Orlando Pirates 3-0 on Sunday afternoon.
The Brazilians lead the table by only one point with two games in hand and victory on home soil will see them go four points clear of second-placed AmaZulu.
On the other hand, Maritzburg are close to surviving automatic relegation as they are unbeaten in their last three games after holding Swallows to a 1-1 last Friday.
However, Ernst Middendorp's charges are not yet out of danger as they sit in 12th, just a point above the relegation play-off spot held by Chippa United, although they have two games in hand.
The Team of Choice will be looking to deny Sundowns victory for the second time this season after holding them to a 1-1 draw in the first round clash in December.
