The affiliates of the National First Division will play their third league matches this weekend.

Six matches will be played at various places throughout the country tomorrow afternoon, while the remaining two will be staged on Sunday.

Black Leopards will fly to Cape Town, where they will fight with Santos for league points at the Parow Park Stadium on Sunday. Both Leopards and Santos played to a draw last weekend. The Thohoyandou outfit shared the spoils with Jomo Cosmos when they played to a 1-1 draw at the Thohoyandou Stadium, while Santos were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Kings.

The Leopards' left back, Andiswa Ndawonde, will not be part of the team that will fly to Cape Town. He left the pitch on a stretcher in the match against Cosmos.

The combination of the Leopards' strikers, Mwape Musonda, Roggert Nyundu and Thembisani Nevhulamba, is expected to keep the Santos defenders running for cover from the onset.

In the other match that will also be played on Sunday, Thanda Royal Zulu will host Witbank Spurs at the Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Thanda Royal are still to lose a league match this season after winning their first two matches. FC Cape Town will visit the Tuks Stadium for their match against the University of Pretoria.

Jomo Cosmos will play their second league match away from home in a row. They will fly to Cape Town, where they will meet Milano United at the Blue Downs Stadium. Royal Eagles will host Cape Town All Stars at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg.

After registering their first victory over FC Cape Town last weekend, Magezi will entertain another Cape Town side, Stellenbosch FC, at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Mthatha Bucks and Amazulu will lock horns at the Mthatha Stadium. Mbombela United will pay a visit to Real Kings at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban.
