It is that time when men are separated from boys as the last four Premier League teams into semi-finals of the Mascom Top 8 Cup will be decided after the weekend second leg fixtures.

Mochudi Centre Chiefs, ECCO City Greens, Township Rollers and Gaborone United (GU) find themselves one foot in the semi finals after registering home victories in the first leg three weekends ago. It is now time for Nico, BMC, BDF XI and Uniao Flamengo Santos to turn around their fortunes as they hosts this weekend's reverse fixtures if they still fancy their chances of winning the knockout cup which carries a P1 million cash prize.

BMC vs ECCO (Lobatse)
BMC has a mountain to climb after losing the first leg match 3-1 in Francistown. The two meet at the Lobatse Council Stadium tomorrow. BMC mentor Daniel 'Chico' Nare knows very well that netting two goals will not be an easy task. "We are trailing from the first leg but we cannot just give up.  We will be playing at home so we will fight to reverse the outcome. If we can score one or two goals without them replying, then we might pull it off, but it is going to be very difficult," Nare told Mmegi Sport on Wednesday. ECCO, despite having a lukewarm season will surely provide a stern test for Nare's charges. While BMC have not been finding the back of the net regularly recently, ECCO have been scoring with ease. They netted four against GU and BMC last month. Both sides' defences are not tight, a thing that may lead to another high scoring encounter.
