Here’s a detailed look at the must-watch fixtures, all to be televised live on SuperSport.
Winner takes ALL in the Carling Knockout final
- Carling Knockout: Magesi v Mamelodi Sundowns
- Saturday 23 November, 6pm:(CAT)
The stage is set for a David-versus-Goliath showdown as Magesi FC, in their first-ever major cup final, lock horns with reigning giants Mamelodi Sundowns. It’s been a fairy-tale run for Magesi, a club from Limpopo that just a year ago was battling relegation in the second division. Under coach Clinton Larsen, the team has defied the odds, securing promotion to the Betway Premiership and now standing on the cusp of a historic triumph.
Sundowns, however, are no strangers to success. With their deep squad, tactical prowess, and championship pedigree, they enter as overwhelming favourites.
But cup finals have a knack for producing upsets, as Larsen himself knows well—he masterminded Bloemfontein Celtic’s shock win over Sundowns in the 2012 Telkom Knockout.
Can lightning strike twice, or will Sundowns cement their dominance once more?
ALL eyes on a classic Italian fixture
- Serie A: AC Milan v Juventus
- Saturday 23 November, 7pm (CAT)
Two of Italy’s most storied clubs, AC Milan and Juventus, collide in a pivotal Serie A encounter. Milan, under new boss Paulo Fonseca, have struggled with inconsistency but remain a dangerous outfit.
Their recent performances include a thrilling win against Real Madrid in the Champions League followed by a frustrating 3-3 draw at Cagliari. Sitting just outside the European spots with a game in hand, a win here could reignite their domestic campaign.
Juventus, unbeaten this season under Thiago Motta, are undergoing a youthful revolution. Their mix of emerging talent and progressive football has shown promise, though six draws in 12 games highlight room for improvement.
A recent Derby della Mole victory over Torino showcased their potential, with goals from rising stars Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz. Both teams have much to play for as the battle for Serie A supremacy heats up.
ALL the pressure on City to avoid a fifth straight loss
- Premier League: Manchester City v Tottenham
- Saturday 23 November, 7:30pm (CAT)
Manchester City’s dominance has hit an unexpected roadblock, with Pep Guardiola’s side enduring a shocking four-match losing streak—the worst in his managerial career. Saturday’s clash with Tottenham provides an opportunity for redemption but also comes with significant risks.
City’s recent woes include two Premier League defeats, despite maintaining their record of scoring in every league game this season. A fifth straight loss would mark an unwanted piece of history for the reigning champions.
Tottenham, while struggling for consistency themselves, have found success at the Etihad in recent seasons. Their ability to score multiple goals on this ground makes them a genuine threat. With City vulnerable and Spurs desperate to improve their away form, this encounter promises fireworks, tactical intrigue, and plenty of goals.
Barca going ALL out to get back to winning ways
- LaLiga: Celta Vigo v Barcelona
- Saturday 23 November, 10pm (CAT)
Barcelona travel to Galicia to face a tricky opponent in Celta Vigo, a team that has historically frustrated the Catalans at the Estadio Abanca-BalaÃdos. While Barca’s recent form against Celta has been positive—four wins in their last five league meetings—their record at this stadium includes seven defeats in the 21st century, more than at any other ground in LaLiga.
Celta, unbeaten in their last two matches, are starting to find their footing and could make it three games without defeat for the first time this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona are desperate to bounce back after a lackluster display against Real Sociedad, where they failed to register a shot on target for the first time in almost a decade. Expect a fiery clash as both teams aim to assert themselves in the league.
An ALL-new start for Manchester United
- Premier League: Ipswich v Manchester United
- Sunday 24 November, 6:30pm (CAT)
Ipswich Town, back in the Premier League after a long absence, have endured a challenging start to the season but finally broke their winless run with a victory over Tottenham. Now, they face the daunting task of hosting Manchester United, who are riding high after dominating matches against newly promoted sides.
United’s away record against promoted teams is nothing short of phenomenal—nine consecutive wins—and they’ll look to continue that streak at Portman Road. Ipswich, on the other hand, are yet to win at home this season. History isn’t on their side, but their passionate supporters will hope to inspire an upset and secure a vital three points.
