M1 Spezia vs Torino: Penultimate game of the season for Spezia as they seek to avoid slipping into the Serie A relegation zone. Torino have lost only twice in their past eight away games.

M2 Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila vs Maritzburg United: The only DStv Premiership game of the weekend as Nedbank Cup winners TTM and fellow strugglers Maritzburg look to get clear of the relegation paces.

M3 Southampton vs Fulham: Southampton have won five of their past seven meetings with Fulham, drawing one and losing the other. Fulham are still battling the possibility of relegation.

M4 Chabab Belouizdad vs Esperance Tunis: Belouizdad’s previous two wins in the Champions League were against former champions TP Mazembe and Mamelodi Sundowns. Esperance won the competition in 2018 and 2019 but were eliminated in last season’s quarter-finals.
