Orlando Pirates are now playing catch-up with Stellenbosch in the race to finish the season in the top-two and they resume that bid by visiting Royal AM at Harry Gwala Stadium.
Currently third on the table, the Buccaneers have six points fewer than the second-placed Maroons and victory on Sunday will help them reduce the gap to three points with five league matches to go.
The KwaZulu-Natal outfit are likely to be without midfielder Moffat Mdluli and goalkeeper Marlon Heugh who are nursing long-term injuries. No player is suspended for John Maduka's side.
Royal AM possible XI: Mpoto, Matlaba, Mabuza, Jiyane, Mahlasela, Kobedi, Mashiane, Msomi, Maxwele, Mkhize, Sera
Orlando Pirates have three suspended players in goalkeeper Sipho Chaine, Miguel Timm and Deon Hotto. Melusi Buthelezi is likely to step in for Chaine while captain Innocent Maela could come in for Hotto. Ndabayithethwa Ndlonldo or Thabang Monare are options to replace Timm.
Pirates possible XI: Buthelezi, Lebitso, Maela, Xoki, Sesane, Makhaula, Ndlondlo, Dlamini, Mofokeng, Maswanganyi, Mabasa
