Sivutsa host Thanda Royal Zulu
The National First Division side, Sivutsa Stars will host the unpredictable Durban-based outfit, Thanda Royal Zulu at the KaBokweni Stadium on Saturday.
The two is set to meet for the NFD league encounter scheduled at
15:30.
Sivutsa Stars are yet to turn this stadium into their slaughter house.
Having registered only one win here, Stars will aim to increase their
winning streak and further climb the NFD ladder.
“For us to book a space in the Premier League, we need to start playing good football and collect maximum points on homeground and at least settle for draws when playing away, especially in the Cape,” said Sivutsa Stars’ PRO, Charles Nkosi.
Nkosi has commended the team’s head coach, John Tlale for assembling a strong and competitive side.
“Since the season started we have been playing good football and scoring goals.
The fact that we went to Cape Town last week and came back with a point proves that the coach knows what he is doing with the team and that the winning mentality is slowly sinking into the boys’ system as they approach
each game with confidence.”
“We are going to take on this game against Thanda Zulu with the same winning mentality and the fact that we are playing at home in front of our supporters will certainly work in favour of the team.
“We really don’t want to read much into our past meetings with our opponents, but rather concentrate on the present challenge, and I am sure we will overcome the challenge we are facing this weekend,” said Nkosi.
Thanda Royal Zulu haven’t played convincingly since the season has begun and are currently occupying the 10th position on the NFD table, while Sivutsa are in position eight after four games.
