The race is heating up in the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League, with a busy weekend of matches ahead.
Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) will host Musina United at Tshifulanani Stadium on Sunday, following a goalless draw against pace setters Mpheni Defenders last Saturday. Anything less than a win could hurt TTM, also known as Vhadau vha Damani, who are among four teams battling relegation. With Musina United also struggling near the bottom, Sunday’s match promises to be a battle of the strugglers.
Mukondeni Young Chiefs will take on Nkowankowa Continentals at the Makhado Show Grounds on Saturday. Continentals are yet to record a league win this season. Young Chiefs coach Joel Mongalo said their goal is to secure maximum points and hope log leaders Mpheni Defenders drop points at Phalaborwa United on the same day. If successful, Young Chiefs could become a real threat, with players Murendeni Nesengani and Norman Nyalungu key to their attack.
Vondwe XI Bullets will host Baduzah Celtics at Makonde Stadium, riding the momentum of last Saturday’s 3-2 win over Musina United at the Musina Rugby Stadium.
Friday afternoon features the lone fixture between Dolphins FC and Lebash Football Academy at the Ben Seroka Stadium in Senwabarwana. Other weekend matches include Tzaneen United vs White Vultures and University of Limpopo Academy vs Royal Pirates.
