Mamelodi Sundowns will need to claim a victory over Kaizer Chiefs in the Multichoice Diski challenge this weekend in order to keep their title hopes alive.
The King Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi, Durban will host the penultimate fixtures of the MDC on 11 and 12 February.
Log-leaders, Bloemfontein Celtic currently have a three-point advantage over second-placed Sundowns, who are eager to be crowned the champions of the competition.
However, the Chloorkop-based side will need to ensure that they claim all three points this Sunday when they face Chiefs in a tell-all encounter, especially after suffering a point deduction this week.
The top spot is still anyone's for the taking, as Celtic (first), Sundowns (second), Wits (third), Chiefs (fourth), Maritzburg United (fifth) and Highlands Park (sixth) are all in with a chance of lifting the trophy at the end of the campaign.
Sundowns will look to eliminate Chiefs from the race when they face-off on Sunday, however, after doing so their chance at the trophy will only depend on Celtic's result against Ajax Cape Town on Saturday.
Here are the current top six's league standings and points:
1. Bloemfontein Celtic - 30
2. Mamelodi Sundowns - 27
3. Bidvest Wits - 26
4. Kaizer Chiefs - 25
5. Maritzburg United - 25
6. Highlands Park - 24
Here are the top six's weekend's MDC fixtures:
Saturday, 11 February 2017:
Bloemfontein Celtic vs Ajax Cape Town - 11h00
Orlando Pirates vs L. Golden Arrows - 13h00
Sunday, 12 February 2017:
Polokwane City vs Maritzburg United - 11h00
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs - 13h00
The winner of the campaign will only be decided after the final match-week, and it remains to be seen whether Sundowns will strengthen their chances by claiming a vital win over Amakhosi this weekend.
