Black Leopards to pray on students?

 

Sport  Date: 08 February 2013

 

After a break of about two months, it will be business as usual for the teams campaigning under the banner of the Absa Premiership next week.

Three matches will be played on Tuesday, February 12, while the remaining fixtures will be played the following day.

Black Leopards will resume their league activities by hosting Bidvest Wits at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday evening. Leopards and Wits drew 2-2 in their first-round match at the Bidvest Stadium in Johannesburg seven months ago.

The rookies, University of Pretoria, are geared to give Lamontville Golden Arrows a soccer lesson when they meet at the Absa Tuks Stadium in Pretoria. Amatuks started the season on a high note but were gradually losing their grip as they unexpectedly lost two easy home games before breaking for the festive holidays.

The defending league champions, Orlando Pirates, will have a date with Supersport United at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto. Moroka Swallows will fly to Cape Town. Their match against Ajax Cape Town will be played at the Cape Town Stadium. Swallows must win the match in order to move out of the danger zone on the log.

Platinum Stars and Bloemfontein Celtic will fight for league points at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg. Platinum Stars proved in their last seven matches that they are a force to be reckoned with by winning all their home matches.

On Tuesday, Free State Stars will play against Chippa United at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in the Free State. The match of the week will be between Mamelodi Sundowns and  Kaizer Chiefs. It will be staged at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria.

Amazulu and Maritzburg United will play at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban in their Kwazulu Natal derby.
