It will be business as usual for the teams affiliated to the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League this weekend. Two of the four Vhembe-based sides, Madridtas and Mikhado FC, will play their matches in front of their home crowds.
The Tshifudi Stadium will the centre for attention tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon when Madridtas will host Baroka FC in what promises to be a humdinger.
Although Baroka are the rookies in the league, they have already proven that they are not there by default. With eight matches remaining before the activities for the current season come to an end, Baroka have nothing to fear when it comes to relegation. They are perched in the middle of the log.
On the other hand, Madridtas must win the match to enhance their chances of escaping the relegation axe at the end of the season. Madridtas' defenders, Maduvha Mudologi and Lutendo Mulaudzi, will have a mammoth task to stop Baroka's fast forwards in Harry Ledwaba and Freddy Kekana. Madridtas's midfielders, Maanda Munyai and Gift Nemutandani, are expected to keep the fire burning in the middle of the park from the onset to the bitter end.
Mikhado will host Ditlou FC at the Rabali Stadium. Ditlou must keep an eye on Mikhado's goal poachers, Ndamulelo Mugadi and Vutomi Ngomana, or else they will never know what hit them at the end of the day.
Joe Maweja will travel to Polokwane where they will play against Polokwane United at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila will meet Polokwane Academy at the Polokwane Rugby Fields, while Boyne Young Tigers will host Molemole Academy at the Boyne Stadium. Great North FC will entertain Ndengedza FC at the Seshego Stadium.
The other fixtures are: Giyani Hotspurs vs Magezi FC and The Dolphins vs Mighty FC.
