Mamelodi Sundowns have been in sensational league form again this season and already look a cut above the rest of the teams in the division. They lead the PSL standings with 38 points in 14 matches, nine points clear of the chasing pack. Owing to their involvement in the continental competitions, including the CAF Champions League, the Brazilians also have two games in hand over Cape Town City and Supersport in second and third, respectively. Sundowns won each of their first 11 league matches this season but saw that run ended when they were held to a stalemate by the Citizens on Christmas Eve. Still, they beat this opponent 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in September and are the only side that are still unbeaten in the top flight in the current campaign. As a result, they are also the clear favourites to win this match. 

Meanwhile, Pirates seemed to have been building solid momentum heading to the year-end with three consecutive wins in December. However, they were unable to maintain that level of performance in the latter stages of the month as they suffered back-to-back defeats to end the year, beaten 3-1 by Supersport United on the road followed by a 3-2 loss to Stellenbosh at home a week later. Those results see the Buccaneers head into 2024 with 25 points in 16 games, trailing the top three by three points, while their arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs are hot on their tails, one point behind. Pirates have managed to take a total of nine points from a possible 24 on the road this season and have failed to beat this opponent in their last eight attempts. During that time, the visitors have lost seven and drawn just one, while they were outscored by a massive 14 goals to one.
