PLAYERS TO WATCH

Lucas Ribeiro, Mamelodi Sundowns - The forward is still in contention for the PSL Golden Boot with 11 goals. The dangerous attacker is lethal in front of goal and if on form, can cause a number of problems for the opposition.

Fiacre Ntwari, TS Galaxy - The goalkeeper has been showing up consistently for the Rockets and will need to be at his best to stop the goal attempts that the Brazilians create consistently.
