WANDERERS EAGER TO CRUCIFY ‘STINGERS’

MBABANE – As the relegation six-pointer battle heads south, both sides are desperate for the maximum points for their survival.

They are heading to this set-up with a lot of commonalities. They are tied at 13 points, but the hub giants have the head-on rule advantage on their side. Wanderers recorded their first win of the league season against Ezulwini United, beating them 2-1 to boost their morale. Furthermore, they have the same number of wins, draws and defeats this season, as they battle it out to get out of the mud. As both sides desperately need the maximum points, Ikabort Masocha’s men, as an iconic club, need them the most. They have set the tone high this year in their bid to protect their elite league status. They come to this game inspired by collecting a point away last week against tricky opponents Madlenya. Meanwhile, Mpumelelo Ngwenya would not want to let it happen twice in his effort to retain their maiden elite league status.

They also collected a crucial point last week against Illovo in a goalless stalemate. To carry out the execution of their plan, they will bank on the experience of seasoned defender Mandla Palma at the back, while Siyabonga Magagula will also play a key role between the sticks. Sharpshooter Mphucuko ‘Smoothies’ Dlamini knows that he needs to step up to the occasion and fire them to victory. Meanwhile, veteran captain and January MTN Premier League finest player Mlamuli ‘Mlaba’ Nkambule poses a threat to the hosts. Ndumiso Dlamini and Sandile Maseko will have a key role in leading the downfall of the hosts, while the experience of Banele ‘Banny’ Mdluli and Sandile ‘Nkomishi’ Ginindza will come into play.
