NFD Match Day Preview_WK 6

Friday, 03 October 2014
Santos FC vs. Thanda Royal Zulu FC, Athlone Stadium, 19H30
The Peoples Team will look to bounce back after a disappointing weekend on the road, as they host Amabhubesi. Both teams head into the match with 7 points, with Thanda edging Santos on goal difference. Stats wise sees Thanda only conceding 2 goals in 5 matches, while Santos scoring 7 in 2 home matches.

Royal Eagles FC vs. Cape Town All Stars, King Zwelithini Stadium, 19H30
Both teams currently flirting with relegation, Eagles currently 3rd from bottom, while Stars just one position above in 13th place. A win for either team will see them flying comfortably in the mid-table region. Should be entertainment all round as Stars look to shine, while Eagles look to fly high at night.

Garankuwa United vs. African Warriors, Pilditch Stadium, 19H30
3 points separates 2nd from bottom Warriors from 11th placed Garankuwa United. Warriors will be looking to improve on a dismal start to the season, after parting ways with Coach David Vilakazi. Garankuwa will be looking for nothing less than a win as they currently 6 points behind the leading pack.

Vasco Da Gama vs. Black Leopards, Parow Park, 15H30
Vasco will surely be looking at no repeats of last season’s 4-1 home defeat they suffered at the hands of Leopards. The fixture marked the turning point in Lidoda Duvha reaching the playoff. Six points separates 3rd place Vasco from 10th Leopards, will history repeat itself?
Witbank Spurs vs. FC Cape Town, Puma Rugby Stadium, 15H30
The Log leading African Beasts takes a trip up to Mpumalanga where they will be hosted by 5th placed Siyavutha. The Beast currently unbeaten on the road will be facing a Siyavutha team that’s unbeaten at home, averaging 2 goals per match.
Baroka FC vs. Milano United AFC, Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, 15H30
After losing out to leopards in the Limpopo Derby, Bakgaga will surely be looking at an improved performance as they host the title chasing Kinnes. Baroka has not lost to Milano in two previous meetings, but Milano having recently tasted an away victory, will be looking to change that.
Jomo Cosmos vs. Golden Arrows, Vaal University of Technology, 15H30
8th placed Ezenkosi welcomes 4th place Abafana Bes'thende who are well on track for a return to the PSL. Arrows currently boast the best defensive record, having not conceded a single goal in 5 games. Their problem however lies upfront as they have also scored the least. Cosmos on the back of a 3-1 win will surely be looking to unlock the stubborn Arrows defence.

Sunday, 05 October 2014

Maluti FET College vs. Highlands Park, Charles Mopeli Stadium, 15H30
With 1 point from 6 games, bottom of the log Maluti surely has to start collecting maximum points if they want to have any hope of turning their season around. The Free State based side welcomes The Lions of The North, who will be looking to add to the 12 goals already conceded by Maluti.
