BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS: FNB Premiership title winners, Gaborone United PIC.PHATSIMO KAPENG
Kickoff is at 7pm. Although many have already declared the fixture a dead rubber, the encounter still promises to be a crowd puller considering that Moyagoleele supporters did not get the chance to celebrate being champions last week.
GU needed three points against TAFIC in the last fixture to wrap up the title, with champagne already on ice. But they suffered a 2-0 loss in Francistown, thus denying them a chance to celebrate back-to-back league glory in front of their supporters.

And it could not have happened at a better time than when they play against another crowd puller, Magosi who despite failing to win the league, still have a chance to finish second. Chiefs are currently sitting at position three with 53 points with three round of matches left.

In other interesting encounters scheduled for today, Calendar Stars, presently languishing at the bottom of the log, host Extension Gunners at Francistown Council stadium at 3.30pm.
