Get ready for an electrifying weekend as the ABC Motsepe League takes centre stage at Nkowankowa Stadium, featuring an exciting double-header with four formidable teams: Tzaneen United, Winnerspark, Nkowankowa Continental, and Mpheni Defenders.
The first match kicks off at 13:00, where a revitalized Winnerspark FC will boldly challenge last season’s Stream B champions, Tzaneen United. The action will intensify at 15:00 as the defending champions of Stream A, Mpheni Defenders, clash with Nkowankowa Continental in what promises to be a tactical showdown.
In the opening game, Winnerspark, now under the guidance of their new coach, Stanley Kgatla, will face a newly restructured Tzaneen United. With their recent signings—including former Casric midfielder Thulani Mponani, skilled center-back Peter Aphani, and the dynamic Lindelani “General” Nkosi—Tzaneen is poised to make a strong statement this season. Winnerspark will rely on the proven abilities of their star players, such as midfielder Thapelo Mokgola and prolific striker Koporal Moatli, to secure a win.
The match between Mpheni Defenders and Nkowankowa Continental is expected to be a tactical masterclass. Mpheni, who has remained defensively unscathed in their last three matches, is likely to employ a solid deep defensive strategy, focusing on lethal counter-attacks.
This will test Continental’s possession-based game as they strive to convert opportunities into goals.
All four teams are primed for victory as they aim to climb the league standings. Mpheni is determined to reclaim their rightful top position, currently held by the formidable Munaca side, with both teams tied at seven points.
Meanwhile, Continental, in sixth place with four points, needs a win to break into the top four, while Winnerspark, sitting in ninth, is eager to improve their league status against fifth-placed Tzaneen United.
