MBABANE – The stage is set: Nsingizini Hotspurs fans, prepare for a royal homecoming as your champions claim their first-round prize.
MTN Premier League defending champions, Nsingizini Hotspurs, lock horns with Mbabane Swallows this Saturday at King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium. This first-round finale serves as a victory lap for the Hotspurs, who secured the E120 000 ‘carrot’ and the top spot with a game to spare after edging Rangers 1-0 this past weekend.
Even if Manzini Sea Birds defeat Sisonkhe at Mhlume, Nsingizini’s head-to-head superiority – following their 1-0 win over the Sea Birds in November – guarantees them the throne. However, a buoyed Swallows side, fresh from a 1-0 derby victory over Highlanders, will be looking to spoil the party and burst the champions’ bubble.
Elsewhere, Sunday offers a mouth-watering double-header at Mavuso Sports Centre, where a bruised Highlanders face Green Mamba before Royal Leopard take on Moneni Pirates.
