Windhoek — With the MTC Premiership title a packed and parcelled package – the race to escape the relegation axe is currently the issue on everyone’s lips, with Oshakati City relegated and a horde of clubs still fighting to stay in topflight football, with only one round of matches remaining before the curtain drops.
Newly crowned champions, Black Africa, will battle it out with LHU Blue Waters at the Independence Stadium in Windhoek.
The coastal outfit is expected to demonstrate the same prowess of last weekend against traditional rivals Eleven Arrows, if they are to keep their survival hopes alive, while the Gemengde-based outfit will be playing to regain some lost pride, as they have nothing to lose.
After a goalless drew against Pirates, the Katutura outfit African Stars will be out to topple relegation-threatened PC Blue Boys in what promises to be a critical encounter at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek.
Ramblers will host 2nd placed FNB Orlando Pirates at the Ramblers Stadium.
In a relegation dogfight, Ali Akan’s Civilians are to pitch against fellow strugglers Mighty Gunners in a decisive encounter at the Paresis Show Grounds.
The soldiers have high hopes of escaping the relegation axe, after they defeated Tigers by a goal to zero last weekend at the Independence Stadium in the capital, with the relegation chopper hacking nearer and nearer to the necks of Civilians.
Ali Akan might just be the man to pull the magic strings to determine Civics’ destiny in topflight football.
Elsewhere, Coastal outfit Eleven Arrows face Cymot SKW in an intriguing schedule at the Kuisebmund Stadium in Walvis Bay.
After kissing goodbye to topflight football and leaving the northern citizens with a sour taste in their mouths, Oshakati City will take on Westbank Tigers at the Uukwangula Stadium.
All matches start at 15h00 on Saturday.
