The teams campaigning under the banner of the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League are gearing up for another busy weekend. Most of the matches will be played on Saturday afternoon, while only one is scheduled for Friday.
All eyes will be on the match between Munaca FC and Mpheni Home Defenders that will be played at the Makhado Show Grounds on Saturday. Home Defenders and Munaca had started their new season on a high note. Munaca were unstoppable when they crushed Musina United 3-1 at the Makhado Show Grounds last Saturday.
Home Defenders had also started the new season with a bang, following their 1-0 victory over the newly promoted United Artists FC at the Louis Trichardt High School grounds.
Musina United will entertain Mikhado FC at the Lesley Manyathela Stadium in Musina. Just like Mpheni Home Defenders and Munaca FC, Mikhado are still in celebratory mood after collecting the maximum points in their opening match last Saturday. Mikhado had narrowly beaten Vondwe XI Bullets 1-0 at the Rabali Stadium.
United Artists will host Giyani Happy Boys at the Makhuvha Stadium. Happy Boys will have the mammoth task to stop the likes of Ndamulelo Mathoni and Rendani Mukomafhedzi.
The Mopani derby between Winners Park FC and Emmanuel FC will be staged at the Bellevue Grounds outside Tzaneen. Winners Park had recently procured the ABC Motsepe League franchise from Ablex United, and the technical staff of the team are still battling to find a winning combination.
The only match that will be played on Friday will be between Phinnet City and Mighty FC at the Turfloop Stadium. The other fixtures are Tzaneen United FC vs City Motors, The Dolphins vs Ditlou FC and PJ Stars vs Eleven Fast Tigers.
