DSTV PREM RELEGATION BATTLE<br /> <br />  Maritzburg United chairperson Farouk Kadodia is fearful of sinister forces in<br /> the final matches of the DStv Premiership especially in the relegation fight<br /> when Chippa United host Golden Arrows at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on<br /> Saturday.<br />  The Team of Choice concluded their season on Tuesday at Loftus Versfeld,<br /> Pretoria, with a 1-1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns. The result saw them<br /> move from the bottom to 14th on the log table with 30 points, one better<br /> than Chippa and Marumo Gallants, who will play their last matches on<br /> Saturday.<br />  After bombing out of the Confed Cup, Marumo will not shift their focus to the<br /> Premier Soccer League where they have all to fight for as far as the top-flight<br /> status is concerned. Gallants are currently in the playoff spot (15th) and they<br /> take on top-eight hopefuls Swallows FC on the final day of the season.<br />  To avoid any complicated permutations, Gallants will need to win against the<br /> Dube Birds, leaving Maritzburg United and Chippa United in the red zone as<br /> one of these three teams must be relegated, and another must go to the<br /> playoffs. Teams from the National First Division who are waiting with bated<br /> breath are Casric Stars and Cape Town Spurs.
