The Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane is expected to be packed to capacity tomorrow afternoon. That is where the much-awaited NFD League match between the only two Limpopo sides, Baroka FC and Black Leopards, will be staged.
Leopards must win the match at all cost in order to restore their lost pride after losing a home match against African Warriors at the Seshego Stadium last Friday afternoon.
It will not be easy for Lidoda Duvha to collect points against the newcomers, as the Sekhukhune side are sharpened to kill after winning their match against the Maluti FET College last weekend. Leopards and Baroka have unfinished business. The last time they played against each other was when the Thohoyandou side booted Baroka out of the Nedbank Cup at the Peter Mokaba Stadium two years ago.
In the other NFD matches, Roses United will play in front of their home crowd. They will host Milano United FC at the Kaizer Sebotlelo Stadium in the Free State. It remains to be seen whether Thanda Royal Zulu will manage to rise to the occasion and register their first victory when they meet Blackburn Rovers at the Umthatha Stadium in the Eastern Cape. Thanda Royal Zulu lost both opening league matches.
Jomo Cosmos are geared to give FC Cape Town a run for their money when they lock horns at the Makhulong Stadium in Johannesburg. Sivutsa Stars will undertake a journey to Cape Town and will meet Santos at the Athlone Stadium.
The Cape Town derby between Chippa United and Vasco da Gama will be played at the Parow Park Stadium in Cape Town. Chippa are leading the pack, after winning both matches they had played to date. Witbank Spurs will host Maluti FET College at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank and African Warriors will entertain United FC in their Free State derby at the Charles Mopedi Stadium.
