The much-anticipated clash between Vondwe XI Bullets and Mpheni Defenders will take place at the Makonde Stadium on Saturday afternoon. This is one of several exciting fixtures scheduled in the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League this weekend. Three matches will be played on Friday afternoon, with the remaining games set for Saturday.
Mpheni Defenders head into the match with confidence, following their emphatic 5-1 victory over Ramatlaohle United FC in a Nedbank Cup match at the Mahwelereng Stadium in Mokopane last Sunday. For Bullets, a win is crucial to keep their title hopes alive. Despite a 1-1 draw against Musina United last Saturday, Bullets remain at the top of the league table.
Musina United, meanwhile, are preparing for a tough encounter against United Artists at the Makhuvha Stadium. United Artists remain the only unbeaten team in the league so far. They secured their first win of the season last Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Tlhotlhokwe Golden Syrup.
Munaca FC will travel to Phalaborwa to face White Vultures at the Selwane Sports Complex. Known for their resilience, Vultures are particularly difficult to beat at home. They held Nkowankowa Continentals to a goalless draw at the Nkowankowa Stadium in Tzaneen last Saturday.
Winners Park will host Maruleng Celtic at the Makhado Show Grounds. Funeka Mafa and Puleng Kgole are key players to watch in the Winners Park lineup.
Other fixtures this weekend include Tzaneen United vs Nkowankowa Continentals, Black Leopards vs Tlhotlhokwe Golden Syrup, Sunrise FC vs Ditlou FC and Royal Pirates vs Eleven Fast Tigers.
