Tough September Fixtures for PSL Teams: A Look at the Most Challenging Matches Ahead
In the upcoming rounds of the Premier Soccer League (PSL), several teams face challenging schedules that could potentially determine the early-season narrative.
Stellenbosch FC, currently struggling with a difficult start to the season, accumulating only 4 points, have a crucial month ahead. They are set to face AmaZulu, Richards Bay, Durban City, and Kaizer Chiefs, a stretch that could potentially derail their campaign if they fail to pick up points.
On the other hand, Kaizer Chiefs have a genuine chance to accumulate maximum points and potentially move clear at the top of the PSL. They are currently joint leaders with Sekhukhune United, each team boasting 13 points. Kaizer Chiefs' relatively kind fixture list includes matches against Sekhukhune, Galaxy, Marumo, and AmaZulu, as well as the first round of CAF Confederations Cup qualification against Angolan side Kabuscorp Sport Clube do Palanca.
Sekhukhune United, who strengthened their squad in September 2025 by signing Miguel Timm from Orlando Pirates, have a favorable run of fixtures for September. They will face Arrows, Chippa, and Polokwane, a series of matches that could help them cement their leadership position.
Orlando Pirates, in third place with 9 points, must play catch-up before fixture congestion could play against them. They will face Marumo, Chippa, Sekhukhukune Utd, and Lesotho side Lioli FC in their upcoming matches.
Mamelodi Sundowns, despite being South Africa's strongest team, are currently in fourth place in the PSL. They need to rediscover their championship form quickly to avoid falling further behind. Their congested fixture list includes matches against Magesi FC, Marumo Gallants, Durban City, Golden Arrows, and Richards Bay.
The upcoming rounds 6 - 9 could be decisive in shaping the early-season narrative of the PSL. Additionally, football fans can look forward to the Carling Cup, or Carling Knockout Cup, as part of the upcoming football events.
The stakes are high, and the upcoming matches promise to be thrilling. Stay tuned for updates as the teams battle it out for supremacy in the PSL.
