Can Lidoda Duvha beat FC Cape Town this time?

 

Sport  Date: 31 March 2017

 

After a break of two weeks, it will be business as usual for the National First Division teams this weekend.

Black Leopards will fly to Cape Town where they will fight for league points against FC Cape Town at the NNK Rugby Stadium. It will be time for Black Leopards to exact sweet revenge for what Cape Town did to them four months ago. Lidoda Duvha were beaten 3-4 at the same venue in their preliminary-round match for the Nedbank Cup.

The coach of Black Leopards, Mr Jean Losuito, sent a warning to Cape Town, saying nothing would stop them from collecting league points at the expense of the Capetonians.

Leopards’ centre back, Jean Munganga, will be available for selection tomorrow. Munganga watched the team beat Cape Town All Stars 2-1 from the grandstand at the Thohoyandou Stadium a fortnight ago, due to medical reasons. Should he be given the chance tomorrow, Munganga will play alongside Lebohang Mabotja, Marks Munyai, Thivhavhudzi Ndou and Andiswa Ndawonde.

In the only match that will be played this evening, Cape Town All Stars will host Jomo Cosmos at the Parow Park Stadium.

The University of Pretoria will pay a visit to Witbank Spurs in Emalahleni and Stellenbosch FC will host Amazulu at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. Should they fail to collect the maximum points tomorrow, Amazulu must forget about securing a place in the promotional play-offs.

Mbombela United will take on Mthatha Bucks at the Kanyamazane Stadium in Nelspruit. Royal Eagles will be the visitors in their all-important fixture against Magezi FC at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Magezi must win the match at all cost in order to enhance their chances of escaping the relegation axe at the end of the season.

Real Kings and Milano United will clash at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban and Thanda Royal Zulu will host Santos at the Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay on Sunday.
