Sua Flamingoes will travel south over the weekend carrying the unmistakable scent of a team sensing opportunity as they face Township Rollers.

With just three points off the summit, Bafana Ba Letswai (Boys of the Salt) arrive in the capital knowing that the mathematics of the title race still tilt firmly in their favour, a right they have deservedly earned. Their campaign took off like a rocket; they remained unbeaten in the opening seven matches. Sua had not tasted defeat, keeping four straight clean sheets, and climbed amongst the championship conversation before most teams had even found their rhythm. Even the October 3–1 defeat to reigning champions, Gaborone United, (GU) did not derail their momentum. Since that loss, they have stitched together three wins and two defeats, not flawless, but solid enough to keep GU in their crosshairs. The departure of head coach Nikola Kavazović, reportedly plotting his next move down south, threw the camp off balance at a delicate moment.

Leadership transitions can rattle even the tightest squads, but to their credit, Sua steadied themselves quickly. The spirit remained intact, and the mission unchanged, to keep the pressure on GU and take every point available.
