With most teams in the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League having just five matches left before the end of the season, the race for the league title remains wide open. This weekend's results are likely to provide some clarity on which team might lift the trophy.
All roads will lead to Makhuvha Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the much-anticipated clash between United Artists and Mpheni Defenders. United Artists have a score to settle after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat in their first-round encounter.

Whether United Artists' defence will be strong enough to contain Defenders' prolific goal scorers, Rophney "Rover" Hlungwane and Halatedzi Matumba, remains to be seen.
