‘Weslians’ eager to end ‘Bull’ jinx
Fixture: M. Highlanders vs M. Wanderers Venue: Somhlolo National Stadium Kick-off: 8pm Entry Fee: E50
in the MTN Premier League three days after Highlanders reigned supreme with a 3-1 win in the inaugural MoMo Cup playoffs played on Sunday at Mavuso Sports Centre. Highlanders are flying high at the moment after winning three out of four games in all local competitions this season.
This is their third game in the MTN Premier League; they have won 3-0 against Tambankulu Callies in the opening fixtures before shockingly losing 0-1 to Moneni Pirates in round two of the fixtures. They will be all out for maximum points against the ailing Manzini Wanderers, who sit at the bottom of the table without a point, goal and a win after two games. The maroon and white outfit have lost 0-1 to newcomers Madlenya and Tambankulu Callies with the same score line.
The black and white outfit are favourites to win the game after the sterling performance on Sunday. They have the players who are on form and who are capable of finishing off the maroon and white outfit that has been engulfed by off-the-field challenges recently.
South African winger Kenneth Moloto will be looking at continuing with his scoring form after scoring a brace on Sunday, while Lesotho Thswarelo Berenge is among the players to be watched.
On the other hand, it is a must
