VANDERBIJLPARK.- Jomo Cosmos will be back in the Vaal after a heavy defeat to Mike-1-Stars FC in the ABC Motsepe League.
Ezenkosi welcomes the rock-bottom Lerumo United FC at the Isak Steyl Stadium on Saturday.
Kick-off time is 15:00.
This is the second time that Cosmos suffers a heavy defeat
Cosmos comes into this encounter after a heavy 4-1 defeat to Mike-1- Stars FC. This is the second time Cosmos suffered a heavy defeat away from home. For example, SSun M-17 FC beat them with the same score on March 28.
However, Cosmos never lost on such a score at home. These results show that they are bad travelers. They are up against the team that is in the ‘ICU’, fighting to survive relegation. United FC is stuck at the bottom of the log with 11 points from 30 games, while Cosmos is sitting in the twelfth spot with 37 points from 31 games.
They play to draw or win…
They are not far from relegation, considering the gap between them and the teams behind. The good thing about them is that when they play at home, they either play to a draw or win. It seems as if they drop points only when they play away from home.
Their game against United FC is a must-win for them to steer away from relegation; otherwise, they will kiss the ABC Motsepe League goodbye. In another fixture, Young Pirates FC will be away to Dube Continental in another ABC Motsepe League match on Saturday.
The home team comes into this encounter after back-to-back defeats to La Masia and JMB FC. Young Pirates FC started the season with an impressive form that saw them in the top three brackets, looking like they would be challenging for the league title.
However, as things stand, they have since dropped to 10th place due to their recent ‘poor’ performance.
They had a great start considering they are newcomers in the ABC Motsepe League after gaining promotion at the beginning of the season. But having said this, they must be proud of themselves, as many teams have been relegated in their first season in the league.
They have done exceptionally well to make their presence felt in the ABC Motsepe League in their first season.
