It remains to be seen whether Black Leopards will bounce back and make FC Cape Town pay for the 0-2 defeat they suffered at the hands of Cape Town All Stars, when they meet in their NFD match at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

According to Leopards’ head coach, Mr David Bright, they had put last weekend’s results against Cape Town All Stars behind them, and they are looking forward to collecting full points tomorrow.

Lidoda Duvha dropped from the second to the fifth position on the log, following last Sunday’s 0-2 defeat to Cape Town All Stars. Leopards’ left winger, Bongani Manana, sustained a knee injury last Sunday and will not be fit to play.

The strikers for Cape Town will not find it easy to beat the Leopards defenders, Harry Nyirenda, Thivhavhudzi Ndou and Jonathan King. Should FC Cape Town collect full points tomorrow, it will be their first victory this season. The team from the mother city drew 1-1 with Mthatha Bucks at the NNK Rugby Stadium in Cape Town last Saturday.

Santos have a mountain to climb tomorrow. They will host Witbank Spurs at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. Spurs are in top form after beating Vasco da Gama 3-0 last weekend. Amazulu and Moroka Swallows will meet at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban, while Royal Eagles will lock horns with Mbombela United at the Kanyamazane Stadium. African Warriors will meet Highlandspark in Thembisa.

Sunday's fixtures are Vasco da Gama vs Thanda Royal Zulu and Mthatha Bucks vs Baroka FC. This afternoon (Friday), Cape Town All Stars will take on Milano United.
