Today TAMBANKULU CALLIES VS DENVER SUNDOWNS AT TAMBANKULU STADIUM, 3PM

M-Tambankulu Callies or BoBhejane (Rhinos) as they are affectiona­tely called, and Denver Sundowns will be battling for the three points in what promises to be a thriller in the MTN Premier League this afternoon.

It has not been easy for Callies, who were giant killers last season and achieved their best finish in their second season in the top flight.

They finished at position five with 44 points while the champions, Royal Leopard finished with 69 points.

Callies have won just once and lost four times including a 4-0 drubbing by unbeaten Mbabane Swallows. They have only five points and desperatel­y need to recover last season’s vibe or they could soon be relegation candidates as the first rounds heat up is now midway through. They host Sundowns who are also out for the points after a disappoint­ing 1-all draw with rookies Seven Dreams.

Sundowns are two places above Callies but if they lose, Callies will go above

them. However, the visiting team which is one point ahead of their rivals are also a game behind. Sundowns could have won their last game but winger and trusted star Mike Dombo saw his penalty saved. Just like Callies, Sundowns will need to start picking up points and they will need the experience of Jimoh Moses, Dombo and Langelihle ‘LD7’ Dlamini who are key players for in the match.
