A battle for the remaining spot in the Premiership between Mogoditshane Fighters and Nico United takes centre stage at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The pair played to a 0-0 draw last weekend at the Sam Sono Stadium and are hoping for a return. 

Neither side has a pole position to secure an elite league spot. However, Majombolo have a slight advantage over the host, as a win or any draw with goals takes them through. As for Fighters, a goalless draw will do them a favour whilst a win will ensure a swift return to the elite league.  The hosts are looking up on the coach, Thaloba ‘Machine’ Nthaga’s magic to guide their return to the top flight. Nthaga has in this decade helped Letlapeng and Security Systems gain promotion and for both sides it was their maiden appearances in the elite league.  The Samba Boys have last tasted Premiership football in 2013. In their seven-year stay in First Division, Fighters have come close to promotion on two occasions but bowed out in the promotional playoff stage.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
