Aces to host Ajax
Currently in ninth position, the home team know that they will have to work extra hard to overcome Ajax.
Following a two-week break the Premier Soccer League (PSL) resumes this week with home team, Mpumalanga Black Aces entertaining the Cape Town-based outfits, Ajax Cape Town on Saturday.
Having won their last encounter at Mbombela Stadium, Aces will surely look to continue their good run here, and also take advantage of the limping Ajax who haven’t played well since the season started.
“Just as we said earlier that we are turning Mbombela Stadium into our own slaughterhouse, it’s not going to be any different when we host Ajax on Saturday.
As you know, all teams in this competitive league want to finish the season in a better position and the entire camp knows just how important it is for the team to finish in the top eight. So we need to collect maximum points, especially when playing at home,” said Aces’ spokesman, Gordon Masondo.
Aces assistant coach, Clive Barker has shown great maturity and we have seen great and entertaining football from this team who recently gained promotion to the PSL.
Currently in ninth position, the home team know that they will have to work extra hard to overcome Ajax.
“We are aware that they are not doing well but we are not going to underestimate them, because as you know that they can play good football on a good day. We are going to give them the respect they deserve but show them no mercy in the field of play,” went on Masondo.
With quality players such as Thulani Hlatshwayo, Franklin Cale and Nathan Paulse, Ajax, who are languishing on position 14, will certainly give it their all and try to turn the tide.
Kick off is at 15:30.
