UJ head into round 5 five points clear at the top of the table after four wins from four without conceding a goal, and will look to make it five straight when they host UFS on Friday.
Second-placed UWC, fresh off their first home win of the season, welcome bottom side UL, while Wits host UP-Tuks and TUT take on DUT at Harry Gwala Stadium.
TUT vs DUT – Friday, 16:45, Harry Gwala Stadium
TUT will look to bounce back from Friday’s five-goal thriller against UWC, in which they twice took the lead only to be pegged back and beaten late on. DUT arrive off the back of a heavy 3-0 defeat to UP-Tuks and will be looking to get their season moving after a slow start.

Wits vs UP-Tuks – Friday, 18:30, Wits Stadium
Wits sit fourth after a narrow derby defeat to UJ, having failed to find a way past a resolute UJ defence in round 4. UP-Tuks, who thrashed DUT 3-0 last time out, currently occupy third spot and will fancy their chances of climbing further with another strong away performance.

UJ vs UFS – Friday, 18:30, UJ Soweto Stadium
The standout fixture of the round sees log leaders UJ, unbeaten and yet to concede all season, take on defending champions UFS, who finally opened their account with a come-from-behind win over UL. UFS will need another big improvement in attack and defence, having shipped nine goals in their four matches so far, if they are to trouble a UJ side that has conceded none.
UWC vs UL – Friday, 19:00, UWC Sports Stadium
UWC head into this one full of confidence after coming from behind twice to beat TUT in round 4, and will be hoping home advantage helps extend their unbeaten record. UL remain rooted to the bottom of the table without a win all season, having taken an early lead against UFS last time out before being overturned in the second half.
