Spurs eye hat-trick of wins in Venda

Cape Town Spurs will be away to Venda Football Academy in a Motsepe Foundation Championship match at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday.

Kick-off is at 3:00 pm CAT.

The Urban Warriors claimed a 2-0 win over Platinum City Rovers on April 21 with Therlo Moosa and Asenele Velebayi scoring at the Athlone Stadium.

It was Spurs’ second successive win as coach Shaun Bartlett’s side boosted its ambitions of securing promotion back to the Premier Soccer League. 

Therefore, Spurs consolidated their spot at the top of the league standings – level on points with second-placed Casric Stars with three games left.

Meanwhile, Venda managed to hold Uthongathi FC to a 1-1 draw on April 23 as Rhulani Manzini’s goal canceled out Tshepo Liphoko’s opening goal in Durban.

The draw extended the Vhembe-based club’s winless run to three matches as Venda looks to avoid relegation from the second tier of South African football. 

Spurs star Morne Nel will be missing after being sent off during the game against Rovers.
