Black Leopards must collect the maximum points against Garankuwa United at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow afternoon in order to restore their pride.

Lidoda Duvha started the new season on a sad note when they lost 0-1 to Lamontville Golden Arrows in front of their home crowd in their opening league match three weeks ago. Leopards collected their first league point a fortnight ago when they played to a 1-1 draw against Jomo Cosmos at the Isak Steyl Stadium in Thembisa.

According to the spokesperson of the club, Mr Berry Ramunenyiwa, they are expecting nothing less than a convincing victory. He indicated that they were fielding an injury-free squad.

 The team’s former captain, Mongezi Bobe, is likely to be in the starting line-up when one takes into account his level of performance at training sessions. The Leopards’ strikers, Abbas Amidu and Siphamandla Sangweni, will give the United defence a run for their money if they are not well contained. Their defenders, Dunga Munganga and Lebohang Mabotja, are expected to keep their danger area clean throughout. Mr Ramunenyiwa reiterated the fact that tickets are available at Computicket, saying no tickets will be sold at the stadium.

FC Cape Town will host Lamontville Golden Arrows at the NNK Rugby Stadium in Cape Town. Thanda Royal Zulu and Vasco da Gama will meet at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. African Warriors and Santos will lock horns at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Phutaditshaba. Jomo Cosmos will fly to Cape Town for their match against Milano United at the Philipi Stadium.

In one of the two matches that will be played this evening, Royal Eagles will entertain Maluti FET College at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban. Cape Town All Stars and Baroka FC will battle it out for league points at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. Sunday will see Highlandspark test their strength against Witbank Spurs at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa.
