Leopards to watch as other NFD teams fight for points

 

While the other National First Division League teams will be fighting for points this weekend, Black Leopards will be out of action. Their match against United FC, which was originally scheduled for this weekend, was played at the Giyani Stadium last Saturday. Lidoda Duvha lost 0-1.

Black Leopards will undoubtedly wish that three teams, Baroka FC, Milano United and Jomo Cosmos, should lose their weekend matches.

The three teams, together with Lidoda Duvha, are in close contention for places in the promotional play-offs. The league champions will gain automatic promotion to the Absa Premiership League, while teams that finish in the second and third place, together with the second-last team in the Absa Premiership Division, will meet in the promotional play-offs.

The best team in the promotional play-offs will also gain promotion to the elite league. Chippa United need just a draw in their remaining four matches to gain automatic promotion. The Cape Town side are likely to be crowned the league champions after their  match against Witbank Spurs at the Puma Rugby Stadium on Sunday.

Baroka will fly to Cape Town, where they will lock horns with Santos at the Athlone Stadium in the only match that will be played today (Friday). Santos are out of both the league championship and the promotional play-offs race, while Baroka will spare no effort. Tomorrow will see Jomo Cosmos play against Thanda Royal Zulu at the Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Losing the match may mean that Jomo will not take part in the playoffs.

Blackburn Rovers will entertain African Warriors at the Sugar Ray Zulu Stadium in Durban. Vasco da Gama and Roses United will do battle at the Parow Park Stadium and Milano United will meet the Maluti FET College at the Charles Mopedi Stadium.
