Gauteng champions Dondol Stars will hope to become the best third-placed team in order to advance to the semi-finals of the ABC Motsepe League national play-offs.
This came after the Nedbank Cup quarter-finalists beat Buffalo FC 2-1 at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg on Thursday afternoon.
Mutshidi Nemaxwi and Kholofelo Monama scored for Stars while Lazarus Selinga netted for the Free State champions, who were trounced 7-1 by Umsinga United on Wednesday.
