Most of the teams affiliated with the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League will play their second-last league matches for the current season this weekend. The Louis Trichardt High School Grounds will be the best place to be on Saturday afternoon, seeing that the much-awaited match between Mpheni Home Defenders and Giyani Happy Boys will be played there.
The winner in this match is likely to lift the league trophy at the end of the season. Home Defenders and Happy Boys are tied on 30 points each. Home Defenders are shining on top of the log standings by virtue of having scored the most goals.
Home Defenders are in a winning mood. They had crushed Emmanuel FC 2-0 at the Louis Trichardt High School Grounds last Saturday. Happy Boys would have moved to the top of the log, had they managed to collect the maximum points in their game against Musina United that was played at the Xikukwani Stadium outside Giyani last Friday. The final score was 2-2. Home Defenders have two matches in hand.
After beating Munaca FC 1-0 at the Rabali Stadium last Saturday, Mikhado FC will travel to Giyani on Saturday. Their match against Emmanuel FC will be played at the Giyani Stadium. Musina United will have a date with Winners Park FC at the Musina Old Mine Stadium. Musina must win the match to move out of the relegation zone. They are perched in the second-last position on the log standings with 10 points. Winners Park are fresh from a 1-0 victory over Vondwe XI Bullets.
Vondwe XI Bullets will visit United Artists at the Makhuvha Stadium. Bullets and United Artists had played to a goalless draw in their first-round league match that was played at the Tshifudi Stadium about three months ago. The other fixtures are Ngoabe City Motors vs Eleven Fast Tigers, Mighty FC vs Ditlou FC, The Dolphins FC vs Tubatse United and PJ Stars vs Tzaneen United.
