Of the five teams fighting for survival in the DStv Premiership, most have a tough schedule of their remaining games.
Besides Black Leopards being favourites to face automatic relegation, their remaining matches may also justify that.
They have fellow relegation strugglers Chippa United away before they welcome Kaizer Chiefs, who are desperate to get into the top eight, with a trip to Cape Town City before they complete the season with a home match against Bloemfontein Celtic.
Chippa may feel they have an easy run in their remaining four matches, with three of them at home. They will only travel once to meet other relegation candidates, Tshakhuma.
For Maritzburg United, they also face an uphill battle in their remaining five matches. They still have to play both inform Golden Arrows and AmaZulu in the KwaZulu-Natal derbies, while they also have to visit SuperSport United, Cape, Town City and fellow relegation strugglers Tshakhuma.
Stellenbosch also have tough four matches, with three of them against teams in the top five – Orlando Pirates, Swallows and Arrows, with another fixture against TS Galaxy, who are also looking to finish in the top eight. It won’t be easy for Stellies especially, with those teams in the top five still looking to finish higher in the log table.
