Masitaoka, Fighters clash in Kweneng derby

Just two points separate the pair as they clash at the Solomon Dihutso grounds in Mogoditshane on Saturday afternoon.

A win will extend Masitaoka’s lead to five points while Fighters have a chance to go on top by Saturday evening if they manage a victory on the day as the league enters the final six games stretch.  However, Fighters’ coach Thaloba ‘Machine’ Nthaga downplayed the magnitude of the game as he says it is not a league decider. He however said his side is aiming for maximum points to move top of the table.  “It is an important game but it does not determine the league winner. What is important is how we perform in the last seven games. It is important that we put the pressure on the log leaders, so we will try to get the three points on Saturday. So, we are coming in to this game very hopeful for maximum points,” Nthaga told a press gathering on Thursday.  ‘Machine’ will be in charge of his fourth game at Fighters after taking the reigns in January. He faces a Masitaoka side that was unbeaten until their last game against Jwaneng Fighters.
