To refresh your memories, defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns lead the way with 58 points after 23 matches thanks to 19 wins, one draw and three defeats.
Masandawana hold a 15 point lead over second-placed Orlando Pirates, but, crucially, the Buccaneers have played four fewer matches.
The other six teams currently occupying MTN8 spots are Stellenbosch FC, TS Galaxy, Sekhukhune United, Polokwane City, AmaZulu and Kaizer Chiefs.
Uncertainty
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the table, there’s still uncertainty over Royal AM and what the league will decide regarding their future – and their outstanding matches.
Currently the KwaZulu-Natal side has only played 11 matches.
This weekend
There are six matches scheduled for this weekend – three each on Saturday and Sunday.
Kaizer Chiefs face Golden Arrows in Durban in the pick of Saturday’s matches, while on Sunday, strugglers SuperSport United and Cape Town City FC face off in what is a ‘six pointer’ at the bottom of the log.
