After suffering their first defeat at the hands of Ajax Cape Town at the Cape Town Stadium two weeks ago, what remains to be seen now is whether Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) will make a comeback and collect the maximum points at the expense of Mbombela United.
TTM will battle it out in a GladAfrica Championship League match at the Kanyamazane Stadium in Nelspruit tomorrow afternoon.
TTM lost 2-3 to Ajax Cape Town and fired the team's head coach, Mr Momcilo Medic, five days later. The Tshakhuma side must win the match at all cost to keep their title hopes alive. TTM were leading the pack before their match against Ajax and they dropped to the fifth spot on the log, following the defeat.
Thembisani Nevhulamba, the TTM sharpshooter, is likely to be in the team's starting 11 tomorrow after recovering from an ankle injury that he sustained in their game against Swallows FC at the Thohoyandou Stadium four weeks ago. Should he be given a chance tomorrow, Nevhulamba is expected to form a good combination with Wonderboy Makhubu and Onyedikachi Ononogbu at the front.
The TTM defenders, Lebohang Mabotja and Jean Munganga, must keep a watchful eye on the United's strikers in Eric Dlamini and Freddy Skhosana.
In the other GladAfrica League weekend matches, TS Sporting will entertain JDR Stars at the Kabokweni Stadium outside Nelspruit. Free State Stars will undertake a journey to Durban where they will play against Uthongathi FC at the Princess Magogo Stadium.
Swallows FC will host TS Galaxy at the Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium. Royal Eagles will fly to Cape Town where they will have a date with Ajax Cape Town at the Cape Town Stadium. Real Kings and University of Pretoria will test each other's strength at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban, while Jomo Cosmos will host Richards Bay FC at the Giyani Stadium.
