Buffaloes are third behind Killer Giants and leaders Jwaneng Comets. A win tomorrow will propel them to the top of the standings as they trail Comets by only two points. For Letlapeng, the match offers a chance to snatch three vital points to enhance their title chances. The first round has not been good for the Ramotswa side as they find themselves in position seven, way behind fellow promotion chasers Comets, Buffaloes and Killer Giants. To the surprise of many, Buffaloes have been on a steady rise. A 4-3 win over Young Strikers seemed to confirm their title ambitions but a draw last Sunday against struggling Mathaithai somehow sent mixed signals about their form. Buffaloes need to win against Letlapeng to convince skeptics that they have the steam to go all the way.
The experience of hard working midfielder Kavidzedi 'King' Kavidzedi should stand them in good stead against the hungry Letlapeng. The unforgiving Letlapeng fans will add to the weight of expectation when the two sides meet at the Ramotswa Show. Buffaloes have agile striker Puso Mangadi who could prove a handful for David Mfolo and company in the Letlapeng defence.
