Can Lidoda Duvha collect more points in eMalahleni?

After registering their first victory in five consecutive league matches, Black Leopards are ready to teach Witbank Spurs a free soccer lesson when they meet in their NFD League match at the Puma Rugby Stadium in eMalahleni tomorrow afternoon.

Coach Kostadin Papic will be on the team’s technical bench tomorrow. Although he was appointed a day before their match against Vasco da Gama two weeks ago, Papic could not shout instructions to the boys, as he still had to update his work permit. When asked about the team’s level of readiness for the match, Mr Papic was quick to indicate that his boys were razor sharp.

He reiterated the fact that Lidoda Duvha will gain automatic promotion to the elite league come end of the season. He added that the race for the league championship was still open when taking into account the fact that they still had 19 matches to play. The Spurs’ defenders, Humphrey Khoza and David Skhosana, must keep a watchful eye on the Leopards goal poachers, Ruggert Nyundu and Leonard Ntshangase, or else they will regret their laxity.

Moroka Swallows will host African Warriors at the Dobsonville Stadium. Swallows must win the match in order to move out of the relegation zone. Thanda Royal Zulu will play against FC Cape Town at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay, while Vasco da Gama will have a date with Highlands Park at the Parow Park Stadium.

Milano United will undertake a journey to Durban to meet Royal Eagles at the King Zwelithini Stadium. The match of the week will probably be between Baroka FC and Cape Town All Stars at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Baroka are currently leading the pack, while All Stars are close in the second spot. Mbombela United will host Mthatha Bucks at the Kanyamazane Stadium.
