The struggle for promotion and to escape the relegation axe will continue among the teams campaigning under the banner of the Limpopo Stream in the ABC Motsepe League this weekend. The question that remains unanswered is whether Bellevue Winners Park will manage to rise to the occasion and stop Mpheni Home Defenders when they clash at the Makhado Show Grounds on Saturday.
Home Defenders are sharpened to kill after securing a place in the last-32 round of the Nedbank Cup, following their 2-0 victory over the North West side, Amaberethe FC, at the Tsakane Stadium in Johannesburg last weekend. Apart from their superb performance in their Nedbank campaign, Home Defenders are still to lose a league match this season. They collected the maximum points in the five games that they have played to date. They are lying in the second position on the log standings with 15 points, one behind the pace setters, Giyani Happy Boys. Home Defenders have a game in hand.
On the other hand, Winners Park are geared to upset Home Defenders after beating Musina United 1-0 at the Xikukwani Stadium outside Giyani last Saturday.
Munaca FC will host Vondwe XI Bullets at the Louis Trichardt High School Grounds. This will be the second game for the newly appointed head coach of Bullets, Mr Lufuno Ndou, to shout instructions to the players from the team's technical bench after steering Bullets to a goalless draw with United Artists at the Tshifudi Stadium last Saturday.
Musina United will entertain United Artists at the Musina Old Mine Stadium. The Mopani derby between Emmanuel FC and Giyani Happy Boys will be staged at the Giyani Stadium. The other fixtures are City Motors vs Ditlou FC, Mighty FC vs Tzaneen United, Phinnet City vs Tubatse United and PJ Stars vs The Dolphins FC.
