MBABANE – MTN National First Division (NFD) log leaders Rangers will seek
redemption when they welcome Ludzeludze Killers in a tricky week 17 fixture this
afternoon.
The last time they crossed swords three months ago, Killers emerged 2-1 winners
on December 4, 2022. Both teams come to this clash wounded following
unfavourable results. Rangers had Ezulwini United reducing their six-point lead
to three after beating them 2-1, while Killers lost 0-2 to Sisonke. Today, the
two sides meet in what looks like a do or die battle, especially for log leaders
Rangers. The result can have far more reaching consequences, if they slip up.
Anything less than a win for the Mthunzi Ginindza-led charges would mean more
pressure for them in neck-to-neck title race with Ezulwini United, who are just
three points behind.
Alongside Ezulwini United, Killers are one two teams this season that managed to
hand Rangers one of their three defeats. One thing that is evident, however, is
that Rangers have a winning mentality and a lot of options, especially with the
likes of Sandile Thwala, Siphamandla Mabuza and Sibonelo Mhlanga upfront.
Meanwhile, Killers, who will be looking to collecting maximum points to move
into the top four, will draw inspiration from Bayeza Kunene, Mlandvo Tsabedze
and Ndumiso Ginindza. It is no doubt that this game will be watched with keen
interest as the title and promotion race heats up.
