MBABANE – It is a tricky weekend outing for troubled defending champions.

Royal Leopard, who are fresh from yesterday’s 1-2 upset against Tambuti, are set for a tricky week seven fixture this weekend. The defending champions will visit winless Manzini Wanderers on Sunday at King Sobhuza II Stadium in Nhlangano. Both teams have endured a disastrous start to the new season, as the maroon and white outfit are at the bottom of the log, while Leopard are positioned 12th. Also at the same venue will be a repeat of the MoMo Cup finals fixture as Nsingizini Hotspurs and Moneni Pirates will face off, and each will be looking forward to redeeming themselves from the last weekend’s defeats to Mbabane Highlander­s and Mbabane Swallows, respective­ly.
