Tonota FC On Brink Of History

The team’s impressive performance this season has earned them the top spot on the log, backed by consistent victories and a strong goal difference. Their unbeaten run reflects their determination, skill and focus. Leading the standings with 41 points and just five games left, Tonota FC is well positioned to edge closer to the championship this weekend when they face Mbalakalungu SC in Kasane.

However, their title confirmation could also depend on results elsewhere, particularly if the second- and third-placed teams drop points. With a 10-point advantage at the summit, Tonota FC is firmly in control of the title race. This leaves second-placed Enesia FC with a must-win encounter against Ferry Wanderers FC to keep their slim hopes alive.

Despite playing away, Tonota FC will need to be at their best against Mbalakalungu SC to secure maximum points. In their previous meeting, Tonota FC claimed a 2-0 victory, a result that may boost their confidence heading into the fixture. Meanwhile, Enesia FC, currently second with 31 points from 17 matches, will host Ferry Wanderers FC at Francistown City Council Stadium.

Although their chances of winning the league appear to be fading, securing maximum points remains crucial to solidify their second-place position. Third-placed Tsabotlhe FC, just one point behind Enesia FC, will travel to Sefhare to face JJ United FC at Mmutle Grounds. While their title ambitions are slim, Tsabotlhe FC remains firmly in the race for second place and must collect all three points to stay competitive.

As Week 18 of the First Division North unfolds, the relegation battle also intensifies. Tshikinyega Tigers FC sits at the bottom of the table with 10 points from 17 matches and faces Sankoyo Bush Bucks FC in Mahalapye. They will need a significant improvement in performance to revive their survival hopes.

Motlakase Power FC, also with 10 points after 17 games, takes on Eleven Angels FC in Palapye at Swallows Ground. A victory is essential for Motlakase Power FC to avoid slipping further into relegation danger. In another fixture, Ndundu Young Fighters FC, who occupy fourth place with 30 points, will play away against BR Highlanders in Shakawe at BFA Ground.

BR Highlanders currently sit fifth with 24 points. All matches are scheduled for Saturday and will kick off at 3:30 pm.BOPA
