The affiliates of the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League will play their last league matches for the current season this weekend. All roads will lead to the Louis Trichardt High School Grounds on Saturday afternoon, where the much-awaited deciding game between Mpheni Home Defenders and Giyani Happy Boys will take place.
Not only must Happy Boys win the match to secure a place in the national promotional playoffs, but they must score at least seven goals in the game. On the other hand, a draw will be good enough for Home Defenders to be crowned the stream champions. Home Defenders are leading the pack with 36 points, three ahead of Happy Boys.
The spirits are high in the camps of the two teams after collecting full points in last weekend's matches. Happy Boys used their home-ground advantage and beat United Artists 1-0 at the Xikukwani Stadium outside Giyani, while Home Defenders managed to beat Munaca FC by the same margin.
The other match that promises to be a real humdinger will be between Vondwe XI Bullets and Munaca FC, which will be played at the Tshifudi Stadium. Munaca and Bullets are not certain about their future as affiliates of the ABC Motsepe League as they are both fighting for survival. Munaca and Bullets played to a 1-1 draw in their first-round league match that was played at the Makhado Show Grounds about four months ago.
United Artists will host Musina United at the Makhuvha Stadium. Musina United are not yet safe regarding relegation. Tzaneen United will lock horns with Mighty FC at the Nkowankowa Stadium in Tzaneen. The Dolphins FC will entertain PJ Stars at the Ben Serake Stadium outside Polokwane. The other weekend fixtures are Ditlou FC vs Ngoabe City Motors and Tubatse United vs Phinnet City.
