The top four teams in the Betway Premiership will all play on Tuesday night when the league returns after the break, IOL Sport reported.
Mamelodi Sundowns lead the log on 20 points. Orlando Pirates are second on 19 points, AmaZulu are third on 16 and Kaizer Chiefs are fourth on 13.
All four matches kick off at 7.30pm.
Sundowns travel to Richards Bay Stadium to face Richards Bay. The Brazilians have not lost a league game yet, with six wins and two draws so far.
Richards Bay are 14th on the log with three points. They have not won a league match this season.
A win for Sundowns would lift them to 23 points and keep them at the top of the table.
Pirates host TS Galaxy at Orlando Stadium. The Sea Robbers played Sundowns in the MTN8 final at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday.
Pirates went into that final unbeaten in the league and with one game in hand over Sundowns. Both clubs have only three days between the cup final and their league games.
Pirates are the defending league champions.
AmaZulu play Durban City at Chatsworth Stadium. Usuthu have won five, drawn one and lost one of their league matches this season.
Durban City have seven points from seven games. The club named Eric Tinkler as its new coach last week, after parting ways with Khalil Ben Youssef.
Ben Youssef was previously a co-coach at Kaizer Chiefs. A win for AmaZulu would take them to 19 points.
Kaizer Chiefs host Stellenbosch at FNB Stadium. Amakhosi are unbeaten after seven league matches, with three wins and four draws.
IOL Sport said Chiefs need to start turning draws into wins if they want to stay close to the leaders.
Stellenbosch are seventh on the log with nine points. A Chiefs win would take them to 16 points and put them level with AmaZulu’s current total.
The publication said it is still early in the season. It added that having the top four in action on the same night could show where the leading teams stand after the break.
Sundowns and Pirates face the extra challenge of a short turnaround after Saturday’s MTN8 final in Durban.
After Tuesday, AmaZulu could sit on 19 points, Chiefs on 16 and Sundowns on 23, depending on results.
