Currently sitting ninth with seven points from five matches, a win could launch Hungry Lions into fourth place — and put them within striking distance of the top contenders.
Fresh off a commanding 3-1 victory over Venda Football Club at the Suzuki Stadium in Kimberley, Hungry Lions are hungry for more as they head to Thohoyandou to face Black Leopards this Saturday.
High in spirits and driven by their recent success, the Kimberley-based team is eager to take on this challenge and secure a place higher up the log. Currently sitting ninth with seven points from five matches, a win could launch Hungry Lions into fourth place — and put them within striking distance of the top contenders.
While Black Leopards may feel confident on their home turf, Hungry Lions are no easy prey.
Their lethal attacking trio, George Vaaltyn, Dondre Gordon, and Jayden Wakefield, will be looking to wreak havoc on the Leopards’ defence, while goalkeeper Thabo Mogale, regarded as one of the best in the league, will be standing tall between the posts, ready to deny any attempts from the home side.
Hungry Lions have already proven their ability to break down top teams.
Last week’s victory was not only a win; it was a statement of intent. With a cohesive team effort and clinical finishing, the Lions dismantled Venda FC, showing that they are capable of taking on the best the league has to offer.
Facing the Leopards, who are currently fifth on the log, presents an opportunity for the Lions to not only climb the ranks but also send a strong message to the rest of the league that they are serious contenders.
For the hosts, Black Leopards, the stakes are high. They know they must win to stay in the title race, but Hungry Lions are heading to Thohoyandou ready to spoil their ambitions.
The match promises to be a thrilling clash, with the Lions aiming to continue their upward trajectory and prove they belong among the league’s elite.
