There have been two venue changes and one time switch for next week’s Absa Premiership clashes on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Chippa United have moved their first top-flight home game in the club’s history on Tuesday from the Cape Town Stadium to regular home for this campaign, the Athlone Stadium.

The club have been barred by the PSL from using their Philippi Stadium fortress as the ground does not meet the minimum safety and broadcast requirements for staging top-level matches. The kick-off time will stay the same at 19h30.

Meanwhile, Lamontville Golden Arrows have moved their home match against newly-promoted University of Pretoria to the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Clermont. The game was originally due to be played at the Princess Magogo Stadium.

The kick-off time for that match has also been brought forward to 18h00, and will be the first of Wednesday’s six Absa Premiership matches to be played.

The Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium received a make-over ahead of the 2010 Fifa World Cup and now has a capacity of 6 500
