Orlando Pirates will be aiming to maintain momentum and widen the gap at the summit as the Dstv Diski Challenge returns with a festival at Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammersdale this weekend.

The Buccaneers, sitting atop the reserve league standings with 31 points from 13 league outings, will square off against AmaZulu at the festival on Saturday.

Meanwhile, second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns, who trail Pirates with two points, will face Sekhukhune United on Sunday.

Last season's runners-up Stellenbosch FC will resume their campaign against Polokwane City, who beat Pirates already this season.

On the other hand, defending champions Kaizer Chiefs, who sit fifth with 20 points, will round up the two-day festival with a meeting against ambitious sixth-placed Richards Bay FC on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Magesi FC will be away to Marumo Gallants on Sunday, while TS Galaxy welcome third-placed Siwelele FC the day before.

In Eastern Cape, Chippa United will entertain Orbit College, who sit 15th, having amassed 11 points from 13 matches.

Bottom-placed Golden Arrows will lock horns with 14th-placed Durban City in a highly anticipated KZN derby, where crucial maximum points will be at stake.
