If the words of the marketing manager of Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM), Mr Livhuwani Madzuhe, are anything to go by, Mbombela United will pay for the 0-1 defeat they suffered at the hands of the University of Pretoria FC two weeks ago.
TTM and Mbombela will meet in an NFD match at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow afternoon. The match will start at 15:30.
According to Madzuhe, Mbombela will be lucky if by chance they manage to go back to Nelspruit with a draw. He stated that the team's technical staff had left no stone unturned in their preparations for the match.
United's strikers, Mziwokuthula Zimu and Abraham Dlamini, are poised to give the TTM defenders a run for their money. They will have to double their effort to beat the TTM defenders, Tshepo Magkoga, Carlington Nyadombo and Lebohang Mabotja.
Royal Eagles will host TS Galaxy at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg. Royal Eagles registered their first victory of the season two weeks ago when they unexpectedly beat Uthongathi FC 0-1.
The NFD rookies, Maccabi FC, will entertain Real Kings in Johannesburg, and Stellenbosch FC will meet TS Sporting at the Kabokweni Stadium in Nelspruit.
The Cape Town derby between Ajax Cape Town and Ubuntu Cape Town will be staged at the Cape Town Stadium.
The other NFD matches are Cape Umoya United vs Witbank Spurs, Jomo Cosmos vs University of Pretoria FC and Richards Bay FC vs Uthongathi FC.
