Tonight
FIXTURE: Red Lions vs Hellenic
VENUE: Mavuso Sports Centre
TIME: 6.30pm
MBABANE – Red Lions have found themselves dropping from second position to
third after Mhlambanyatsi Rovers collected three points over the weekend to go
above them, although the latter have played two more games.
The Manzini-based outfit must now play catch-up as they are also three games
behind log leaders Mbabane Highlanders and 15 points behind, but what matters
the most right now is that they go back to second spot so as to keep their
promotion hopes in good standing.
Tonight they will be fighting for that objective; get three points, get to 27
points, one more than Rovers, and reclaim second spot with a game in hand. This
is, therefore, not a match that Red Lions will want to lose, but they come up
against a Hellenic side that has shifted gear ever since the return of
Zwelibanzi ‘Botsotso’ Khoza towards the end of the first round. Hellenic are
currently fifth with 21 points, thus they have everything to play for in this
game because a win puts them on fourth, boosting their hopes of gaining
promotion. This game, on paper, definitely promises to be a thrilling encounter
because either club needs maximum points.
