The battle for the top three places in the PSL continues this week when Cape Town City play host to Supersport United on Wednesday evening. Both teams will head into this match level on 30 points apiece, though the hosts are ahead on goal difference. Cape Town City will have their chance to get revenge on this opponent, having faced them last week in the Nedbank Cup, which they lost 2-1. Before that, the Citizens played out a 1-1 draw against Chippa United in the league, extending their current unbeaten run to three games, which included holding league leaders Sundowns to a draw. At home this season, Cape Town City have recorded four wins, one draw, and one loss in six PSL matches. They are unbeaten in their last four (W3 D1 L0) and have kept clean sheets in their last two. The hosts have failed to beat this opponent in their last five attempts (W0 D1 L4) but are marginal favourites here, according to the bookmakers. 

Meanwhile, Supersport have been in good form lately and will come into this crucial fixture following a 1-1 draw against Modern Future in the CAF Confederation Cup over the weekend. Unfortunately, that result only took them to four points in their group after five matches, meaning that they would not be able to qualify for the knockout rounds, regardless of the result in the final match of the group. In league terms, Matsatsantsa played out a 1-1 draw to Stellenbosch in their last outing, which followed a disappointing 3-1 defeat to relegation playoff candidates Richards Bay before the international break. On the road this term, SuperSport United have accumulated four wins, two draws, and three losses. However, they did beat this opponent 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in August and have outscored them 7-2 in their five-match unbeaten run against them.
