Full round of Heritage Day matches in the Betway Premiership

Soccer fans are in for a treat this Heritage Day with no fewer than seven Betway Premiership matches scheduled to be played around the country.

In the afternoon’s early fixture, 11th-placed Golden Arrows will host defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium in Durban 15:00.

Masandawana are undefeated this season after eight matches (5 wins, 3 draws) and lie in second place in the standings.

Looking to bounce back

In the lone match at 17:30, Kaizer Chiefs will welcome Marumo Gallants to the FNB Stadium.

Amakhosi will be looking to bounce back from their most recent 3-1 loss to Sekhukhune United against ninth-placed Bahlabane Ba Ntwa.

Tickets for the much-anticipated clash are still available for R60 at opentickets.co.za, kaizerchiefs.com or Shoprite, and Checkers outlets countrywide.

The Glamour Boys lie in third place on 13 points, but have bitter Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates now breathing down their necks following the Buccaneers’ 1-0 win over Siwelele FC in Tuesday’s only clash.

Five matches will kick off at 19:30 on Wednesday, with plenty at stake as teams continue to jostle for goals – and log points in this season’s Betway Premiership.

Pressure is mounting on Chippa United who currently lie bottom of the log, with newcomers Orbit College also in danger with just one win in seven outings to their name in the top-flight, to date.
