- BY NALEDI LEMOGANG

Eleven Angels FC will face a tough battle against Township Rollers FC this evening, [Wednesday]. Rollers is motivated to challenge for the league title this season and have shown their intent with a win in their first match. Eleven Angels come into this game off the back of a 1-1 draw with Morupule Wanderers FC, and will need to put in their best performanc­e to avoid being overpowere­d by Rollers. This promises to be a thrilling match, with plenty at stake for both teams.

The second week of the Botswana Premier League (BPL) season will continue today, with Eleven Angels facing Township Rollers at the Royal Aria Stadium. This match

is highly anticipate­d and expected to be competitiv­e as the two teams have played to two 1-1 draws in their previous meetings last season. Eleven Angels always seem to raise their game against Rollers, making this a hard-to-predict fixture. Both teams will be looking to secure a win and get their season off to a strong start.

Eleven Angels faced a tough challenge in their first game of the season, falling behind at half time but battling back to earn a draw. The team has made a name for themselves in their first season in the Premier League, and they are determined to improve on last season’s performanc­e. Their resilience and determinat­ion were on display in the opening game, and they will look to build on that in the coming games.

Despite drawing with Rollers in the past, Eleven Angels face a difficult task in today’s game against a recharged Township Rollers team. Rollers have made it clear that they are aiming to win the league this season, which means they will be seeking maximum points, particular­ly in the first round. They will not underestim­ate Eleven Angels given their past encounters.

Considered as the league’s underdogs, Eleven Angels have the potential to earn a draw or even a victory. While anything can happen in 90 minutes of football, they have shown that they are a resilient side and have a good record against bigger teams in the Premier League. This season, all teams are highly focused and competitiv­e, making for some thrilling matches. Teams are not giving up points easily, which makes for an exciting and unpredicta­ble season.

The second round of midweek fixtures in the Premier League will see Orapa United hosting Masitaoka FC at Itekeng Stadium, while VTM will welcome Security Systems to their home ground. Sowa Flamingos FC will take on BDF XI at Sowa Town Council Stadium, while Holy Ghost FC and TAFIC FC will square off at Lobatse Stadium. Meanwhile, Gaborone United will face Morupule Wanderers FC at the National Stadium and all matches will be played today.
