The two sides meet on Sunday at Notwane’s new home ground, Organic Acres in Metsimotlhabe in what is expected to be a thrilling encounter. Toronto, who have been battling for a return to the elite league without success, are currently sitting at position five with seven points, just two behind log leaders, Taung Young Strikers. Although they have not lost a single game thus far, the worrying factor for Notwane has been that they have also not been winning matches. Out of five matches, they have only won one, with the rest of the four matches ending in a stalemate. Interestingly, they have conceded only one goal in five matches but they have been struggling in front of goals, scoring only three. Against Tlokweng United, Notwane are facing a side that has conceded two goals so far and scored six in five matches.

They have so far won one game each and are currently at five points each.

This evening, UB Hawks who are sitting dangerously at the bottom of the log will lock horns with Prisons XI At the BPSC Stadium.
