Tzaneen United team

ABC Motsepe league stream B log leaders Tzaneen United are already scouting their prospective provincial playoffs opponents.
This after the Maruleng based side’s highly gifted coach Peace Khosa was spotted at Malamulele stadium last week watching stream A top of the table clash between current log leaders Mpheni Defenders and second placed Emmanuel. Mpheni are currently leading stream A with 27 points from 14 games while Emmanuel are in second place trailing with only four points from 13 games.
One of these two stream A sides could well be “Lebapola’s” opponents in this season’s provincial playoffs.
However unlike in stream (B) where it is already clear who the prospective champions are, in stream (A) there is still more to play for. Third and fourth placed Vondwe X1 Bullets and Maruleng Celtics who are trailing with seven points respectively could still emerge as champions should both Mpheni and Emmanuel lose two games and draw one in their last four games.
If Vondwe and Celtics can win all their remaining games, then Tzaneen could face a different opponent in the playoffs since Mpheni and Emmanuel have been inconsistent in their games this season.
Celtics who are having a game in hand have been doing very well recently. They won two of their previous games and have also displayed quality performances in their games even when playing away.
Tzaneen United are 14 points clear of second placed Ditlou whose league game was abandoned last week. Third placed Tubatse United who were at some point challenging Tzaneen United’s lead are now in position three trailing with 16 points.
Judging from the two sides inconsistent performances, it is now obvious that the impressive “Lebapola” who never lost a game this season will end the league stream as champions.
