SEDIBENG.- Expect the mother of all battles when Sekhukhune United hosts fourth-placed Siwelele FC in the DSTV Diski Challenge at Isak Steyl Stadium in Vanderbijlpark on Saturday. Kick-off is at 12:00.
Siwelele enters this encounter with their tails high after they beat TS Galaxy to continue their impressive run. Meanwhile, United will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Chippa United.
Siwelele, currently fourth on the log with 12 points from seven games, aims to close the gap on the leaders, while Sekhukhune United, sitting 10th with eight points, hopes for a win to climb the standings.
Orlando Pirates are still at the summit of the log with 19 points, followed by Mamelodi Sundowns second on the log on 16, and Richards Bay with 14 points.
Defending champions Kaizer Chiefs find themselves in an unfamiliar seventh place with eight points. It never rains but pours for Vele Khumalo’s boys this season. It has been a difficult season, a stark contrast to last year when they dominated the league and clinched the DDC title. However, they are not the same team that they were last season, with many youngsters promoted from their development team.
