After a break of about two months, it will be business as usual for the teams affiliated to the Absa Premiership next Wednesday, February 15.

Orlando Pirates will resume their second-round matches by hosting Black Leopards at the Orlando Stadium. It will be time for Lidoda Duvha to exact revenge for the 0-2 defeat they suffered at the hands of Pirates in their opening league match six months ago.

Leopards’ new recruits, Siphiwe Mkhonza and Zyenyika Makonese, are likely to be in the starting lineup. A draw for Leopards will be the best result, when one takes into account the fact that Pirates are sharpened to kill.

Moroka Swallows and Santos will meet at the Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg and Ajax Cape Town will host Platinum Stars at the Cape Town Stadium. Ajax Cape Town, or the Urban Warriors, are not easy to beat, especially at their home ground. For that reason, Dinaledi will be lucky if they manage to hold them to a draw.

Supersport United will host Free State Stars at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

A tricky hurdle lies ahead of Jomo Cosmos. They will play against Kaizer Chiefs at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. Amazulu will rub shoulders with Mamelodi Sundowns at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

The other fixtures are Bloemfontein Celtic vs Golden Arrows and Bidvest Wits vs Martitzburg United.
