GU face Rollers' juggernaut

All roads lead to UB Stadium on Sunday when red hot be MOBILE Premier League title favourites, Township Rollers, face defending champions Gaborone United (GU) in what is expected to be a thrilling contest.

Though some have said the Gaborone derby has lost some of its attraction in recent years, the Sunday duel should bring back the old spark given the current state of affairs at the two arch-rivals. Both clubs have been scaling the heights of glory though at different levels and the Sunday game will have a lot riding on it.

 While Rollers have been ruthless on the domestic front, GU have been making history in the CAF Champions League. Off the pitch, Rollers' title rivals will be hoping that GU can produce the performance they displayed in the first round when the two sides met. The two sides played to a 1-1 draw in the first round tie. GU were then under the tutelage of Manfred Chabinga who was sacked and replaced by David Bright. It will be interesting to see how the two teams match on Sunday. When other clubs are struggling, Rollers seem to be gaining momentum. They have scored 12 goals in their last two matches.
