Black Leopards will host the struggling Maluti FET College tomorrow afternoon in an important NFD match at the Thohoyandou Stadium.
Leopards recently found their rhythm with two consecutive victories, and another win will stabilise their position on the log. They have eight league points from six matches. The students from the Malutis are at present last on the log, with only four points from their seven matches.
All last week's NFD matches were postponed at the eleventh hour to this week, due to the Bafana Bafana match against the Congo last Saturday.
Leopards will pin their hopes on Leonard Ntshangase and Sanele Mkhise for goals, while Rodney Thato and Freddy Dlamini are geared to keep the students' danger area clean. Leopards’ new signee, Mumuni Abubakar, is likely to be in the starting team tomorrow. Abubakar entered into a two-year contract with Black Leopards last Thursday.
The match will start at 15:30 and, according to the spokesperson for Black Leopards, Mr Berry Ramunenyiwa, tickets are only available at Computicket and no tickets will be sold at the stadium.
The other NFD fixtures are:
Friday: Milano United vs Vasco da Gama and Cape Town All Stars vs Thanda Royal Zulu. Saturday: Golden Arrows vs Garankuwa United, FC Cape Town vs Baroka FC and African Warriors vs Witbank Spurs. Sunday: Jomo Cosmos vs Santos and Highlands Park vs Royal Eagles.
