The affiliates of the National First Division will play their second-last league matches this weekend. All matches will be played on Sunday afternoon.

It will be the last time that the fans of Black Leopards will see their team playing at home this season. Lidoda Duvha will host Santos at the Thohoyandou Stadium. Leopards lost 0-2 to Highlands Park at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa last Saturday. On the other hand, Santos are in winning mode after beating Moroka Swallows 1-0 at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town last Saturday.

It remains to be seen whether the Santos coach, Mr Zeca Marques, will manage to steer his side to victory over his former employers, Black Leopards. Marques was the Leopards’ head coach before joining the Cape Town side early this season.

Cape Town All Stars will fight for league points with Amazulu at the Princess Magogo Stadium. Things are not going according to plan in the Amazulu camp. They lost their second consecutive league match last Saturday, when Milano United beat them 0-1 at home.

Witbank Spurs will host Royal Eagles. Spurs and Eagles are close contenders for a place in the promotional play-offs. Mbombela United will undertake a journey to Cape Town, where they will lock horns with FC Cape Town at the NNK Rugby Stadium.

The Cape Town derby between Milano United and Vasco da Gama will be staged at the Athlone Stadium. Da Gama registered victories in their last three league matches. Mthatha Bucks will host Highlands Park at the Mthatha Stadium, while Moroka Swallows will entertain Thanda Royal Zulu at the Dobsonville Stadium. Swallows must win the match in order to enhance their chances of escaping the relegation axe at the end of the season.
