Following their 2-2 draw with Uthongathi FC in their Motsepe Foundation Championship League match that was played at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban last Sunday, Black Leopards are now geared to bury Cape Town Spurs when they meet at the Malamulele Stadium on Saturday.
The fixture will be the last for Lidoda duvha before they go for the FiFA World Cup break. Their next fixture will be against Pretoria Callies at the Lucas Moripe Stadium outside Pretoria on Saturday, 7 January.
The head coach of Black Leopards, Mr Rodwell Dhlakama, is positive that his side will close the year with a bang. He said that the team's performance was improving each game ever since he joined the Thohoyandou side last month.
He said that scoring was no longer a challenge to his strikers. According to him, their challenge was at the defence as they had failed to maintain their lead until the end of the game each time they were leading. He described their 3-3 draw with University of Pretoria FC as a bitter pill to swallow to everyone in the club.
Should they manage to collect the full points at stake against Spurs, Black Leopards will be on course to finish their league programme among the top three teams.
Cape Town Spurs played against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC (TTM) at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Wednesday. (The result of the game was not available at the time of our going to press).
