The future of Black Leopards as an affiliate of the Absa Premiership division of the Premier Soccer League will be determined tomorrow afternoon.
Leopards, the only Limpopo side in the country’s elite league, will travel to the Free State to wrap up their league activities for the current soccer season. Their final league match against Free State Stars will be staged at the Goble Park Stadium.
A win against Free State Stars will not be enough for Lidoda Duvha to escape outright relegation if the other relegation candidates, Chippa United, win their match against Amazulu. Leopards’ last hope is to finish in the second-last position and qualify for the platinum promotional playoffs, something which looks far beyond the reach of the domestic lads.
In the other Absa Premiership matches that will also be played tomorrow afternoon, University of Pretoria will host Kaizer Chiefs at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. Chiefs have already been declared the league champions.
Orlando Pirates will take on Maritzburg United at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg and Bidvest Wits are geared to give Mamelodi Sundowns a run for their money when they meet at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.
Ajax Cape Town must at least play to a draw against Lamontville Golden Arrows in order to be on the safe side when it comes to relegation. They will meet at the Cape Town Stadium.
Amazulu will entertain Chippa United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. Platinum Stars will host Supersport United, while the match between Moroka Swallows and Bloemfontein Celtic will be played at the Dobsonville Stadium.
