Teams: Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila v Maritzburg United
Date: 15 May 2021
Venue: New Peter Mokaba Stadium
Maritzburg United will be looking to secure their DStv Premiership status when they visit Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila on Saturday afternoon.
The match will get underway at 15h00.
The Team of Choice got closer to securing their top flight status after edging Golden Arrows in a five-goal thriller in the KwaZulu-Natal derby on Wednesday.
As a result, Ernst Middendorp's charges moved up to 12th on the log with 28 points, three points clear of the relegation play-off spot held by their opponent and United can leapfrog Kaizer Chiefs in tenth place if they get maximum points.
On the other hand, recently crowned Nedbank Cup champions, Tshakhuma will be looking to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 defeat to SuperSport United in midweek.
Vhadau Vha Damani are stuck in 15th place on the log with 25 points but they could catch up with Maritzburg on points if they beat them on home soil.
TTM will be buoyed by the fact that they won the first round clash 1-0 in February this year at Harry Gwala Stadium, with Thabo Mnyamane getting the all important goal.
