The last round of group fixtures in the MultiChoic­e Diski Shield this weekend will determine the semifinali­sts in this inaugural cup competitio­n, with a Soweto derby among the games taking place at Vosloorus Stadium.

The winners of the four groups will reach the last four and Kaizer Chiefs, who top the Central pool with six points, will face arch-rivals Orlando Pirates today.

Amakhosi, under Arthur Zwane (above) need just a draw to be guaranteed a place in the semifinals. Pirates come into this game on three points and are second in the group along with Bidvest Wits, who take on a Platinum Stars side yet to register any points.

In the Coastal East pool, AmaZulu, who are at the summit of the table with six points, take on Golden Arrows, who are on four points. A draw for Usuthu will see them go through to the semis.

Bloemfonte­in Celtic, who top the Coastal West group with four points, face neighbours Free State Stars. Ea Lla Koto are on three points, level with Ajax Cape Town while Cape Town City have only managed to collect one point.

The Northern group will see joint leaders SuperSport United and Baroka FC take on Mamelodi Sundowns and Polokwane City respective­ly.

Both United and Baroka are level on four points, but Matsatsant­sa top the group thanks to a better goal difference.
