THOHOYANDOU – After collecting full points at the expense of Orlando Pirates at the Thohoyandou Stadium last weekend, Black Leopards are faced with another mammoth task, this time, of beating the on-form Moroka Swallows Football Club away from home this weekend.
The two teams will battle it out in an all-important Castle League encounter at the Rand Stadium in Johannesburg tomorrow. Leopards are fighting to move out of the relegation zone, as they are currently lying second from the bottom of the log.
On the other hand, Swallows have every reason to win the match as they still stand an outside chance of winning the league title. In a bid to strengthen their unreliable striking force, Black Leopards have registered the former Moroka Swallows and Tembisa Classic sharpshooter, Dingaan Masanabo on Tuesday this week.
Masanabo was put on the transfer list by his former club, Moroka Swallows, together with two defenders, Martin Zwane and Augustine Mabuye early last month. Masanabo, who has been training with the Thohoyandou outfit for three weeks, will be available for selection tomorrow.
The fact that Jaconia Cibi, who has been serving a three-match suspension, will also be available for selection, will give the Leopards midfield a boost. Cibi was red-carded in an away fixture against Lamontville Golden Arrows in Durban four weeks ago.
The match will start at 15:30.
Back home, Dynamos will host Kaizer Chiefs at the Thohoyandou Stadium. The wounded Chiefs lost 0-2 to Wits University last weekend, while the pride of Mopani beat Ajax Cape Town 2-0 in Cape Town last Friday evening.
This match will be shown live on television. The kick-off time is 15:30.
