MFC table toppers look to avoid more stutters

With Matchday 16 in the Motsepe Foundation Championship on the horizon, the likes of Orbit College and Baroka will look to go back to winning ways in their respective fixtures this weekend.

Orbit College, who recorded just one win in their last six league encounters, will take on Platinum City Rovers at the Isak Steyl Stadium on Saturday afternoon. While they remain at the top of the pile, Orbit could only manage a 1-1 draw with Magesi last week.

Unable to make ground with the table toppers, Baroka likewise recorded a 1-1 stalemate with the University of Pretoria in their most recent fixture. This week, Baroka will take on Milford at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday, with the latter sitting om 16th position on the Motsepe Foundation Champion log.

Elsewhere, the in-form Upington City will travel to the Malamulele Stadium this weekend, where they will take on 13th placed Venda Football Academy on Saturday.

Upington City recorded three wins and two draws in their last five league matches and subsequently climbed up to third on the table.

Also, Pretoria Callies will hope to record just their third win in the league this season when they take on JDR Stars at the Soshanguve Giant Stadium this weekend.

As far as form is concerned, JDR Stars are among the worst performing teams in the league currently, recording three losses and two draws in their last handful of fixtures.
