While Kaizer Chiefs still have six matches to play, the majority of sides have just four games remaining in the 2021/22 DStv Premiership season.

Mamelodi Sundowns need just ONE point from their DStv Premiership clash with Cape Town City FC on Wednesday, 27 April to clinch a record-extending fifth straight league title.

Kick-off is at 19:30.

That situation arose without Masandawana even playing in the DStv Premiership this weekend as they were on CAF Champions League duty.

Entering the weekend, Royal AM, Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs occupied second, third and fourth places, respectively, and were the only teams who could mathematically overtake the runaway leaders.

Ahead of the clash with Cape Town City, the Brazilians have 57 points, Royal AM 45, Cape Town City 40 and Kaizer Chiefs 39, along with out-of-contention Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch.
