After a short break due to the FIFA international window, the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season is back, and the action is set to resume this weekend.

Fans can expect some exciting matches as the league heats up again.

Mamelodi Sundowns Hold Strong Lead in the Standings

As of now, Mamelodi Sundowns are leading the pack with 58 points from 23 matches.

They’ve secured 19 wins, one draw, and only three defeats.

The defending champions enjoy a significant 15-point lead over second-place Orlando Pirates, although the Buccaneers have played four fewer games, keeping things interesting for the remaining fixtures.

MTN8 Race Heating Up

In the race for the MTN8 spots, which secure qualification for the prestigious cup competition, six teams are currently in contention.

These include Stellenbosch FC, TS Galaxy, Sekhukhune United, Polokwane City, AmaZulu, and Kaizer Chiefs.

The competition is fierce, and the next few rounds will be crucial for these teams.

Uncertainty Surrounding Royal AM

At the other end of the table, there’s still uncertainty about Royal AM’s future in the league.

The KwaZulu-Natal side has only played 11 matches so far, and the league is yet to decide how to handle their outstanding fixtures.

The next few weeks could bring clarity, but for now, the situation remains up in the air.
