The last time they tasted a defeat in the league was in November last year against Chiefs. This season Rollers have so far maintained their 100% record in the league with six victories in six matches. The victory against Chiefs on Saturday saw them open a seven-point lead at the top of the league table. With attacking midfielder Edwin Moalosi on fire since the beginning of the season, Rollers have so far scored 13 goals and conceded only three.
Moalosi has been a livewire and involved in almost all the successful attacks Rollers launched this season. He has been voted the man of the match in two consecutive matches against Sharps Shooting Stars and Chiefs. Gilport Lions have so far struggled to keep up with the pace of the league and remain rooted at the bottom of the log with just three points. They have so far lost five games despite boasting some of the experienced players in Tumisang Sekanonyane, Jackie Mothatego and Topo Piet.
In other matches scheduled for tonight, diamond mining sides; Jwaneng Galaxy and Orapa United face-off at Galaxy Stadium with both sides desperately looking to cut the gap opened at the top by the defending champions. The visitors are currently experiencing a dip in form and trail the log leaders by eight points. They have already lost twice this season. Galaxy have on the other hand lost once and saw their match against Miscellaneous cancelled on Saturday due to a water-logged pitch.
A victory could see them cut the lead at the top with a game in hand. BDF XI, who are currently sitting at number two on the log, face struggling Kgatleng giants in Molepolole. Magosi lost their third consecutive match on Saturday registering one of their worst starts in the league in recent years.
They find themselves sitting at position 15 with five points. However they welcome their influential midfielder and captain, Lesego Galenamotlhale from suspension. At Otse Police College, Black Forest host TAFIC in what is expected to an interesting match with just a single point separating the two sides after six games.
