Buffaloes favourite at unpredictable rookies
MADLENYA VS YOUNG BUFFALOES AT MAYALUKA STADIUM, 3PM NPREDICTABLE are rookies Madlenya, especially after they held the star-studded army team to a 1-all draw in the reverse fixture last December. That said, this is a new game altogether and the circumstances are not the same. This is the second round and Buffaloes can smell the title, it’s within their grasp as they trail leaders Green Mamba by a point with two games to spare. A lot has been said already but Buffaloes know they cannot afford to slip up. A defeat will not be ideal if Green Mamba win their clash against Denver Sundowns in Mhlume as that will mean a four-point gap which seals the championship and TotalEnergies
UKEY PLAYERS:
Y. BUFFALOES - Njabulo Maziya, Bongwa ‘Owa’ Matsebula and Ali Matse. MADLENYA - Lucky Gamedze, Sethu Ngcamphalala and Gift Gamedze.
CAF Champions League spot. Buffaloes would have to take the second place if they do not lose it to Mbabane Swallows who are mathematically still very much in contention for the title too, only it’s not in their hands. That is the pressure Buffaloes have right now as for them it is not just Green Mamba but Swallows too. The second spot is also just as useful as it carries with it the ticket to the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup. Royal Leopard and Mbabane Highlanders won the two tickets last season but this time Leopard are set to finish on fifth while Highlanders are on fourth and could possibly finish on the third. A draw for Buffaloes may also prove not ideal if Green Mamba win today, going to the closing matches next week.
