After sharing the spoils with Hungry Lions, with whom they played to a goalless draw in their GladAfrica Championship League match at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Saturday, Black Leopards have another mountain to climb. Lidoda Duvha will host Richards Bay FC in their league match at the Thohoyandou Stadium next Wednesday, 16 March.
Failure to collect the maximum points at stake will do Leopards more harm than good. The Thohoyandou side are currently lying at the bottom of the log with 16 points. Richards Bay, too, had failed to impress their home crowd last Saturday. They played to a goalless draw with Polokwane City at the Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay.
Leopards' defenders, Isaac Masia, Kyaan Bull and Tsheamo Mashoene, will have a mammoth task to stop Somila Ntsundwana and Moses Mthembu, the two strikers of Richards Bay. The Kwazulu-Natal side are currently shining on top of the log with 38 points.
Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) will be on the road this weekend. Vhadau Vha Damani will travel to the Eastern Cape where they will play against Hungry Lions at the Mthatha Stadium. TTM are still fresh from a 2-1 victory over Pretoria Callies at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Friday.
Venda Football Academy (VFA) will visit Uthongathi FC at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban. Cape Town All Stars are waiting for Platinum City Rovers at the Parow Park Stadium outside Cape Town. University of Pretoria FC will host Free State Stars at the Absa Tuks Stadium in Pretoria. Pretoria Callies will entertain TS Sporting at the Lucas Moripe Stadium outside Pretoria. JDR Stars will have a date with Cape Town Spurs at the Soshanguve Giant Stadium outside Pretoria, while Jomo Cosmos will meet Polokwane City at the Olën Park Stadium in Potchefstroom.
