FIFA International break came to an end on Wednesday with two rounds of African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers matches played.
The next stop for Sekhukhune United FC will be at Princess Magogo Stadium in Kwamashu, where Lamontville Golden Arrows FC lies in wait.
Babina Noko will look to bounce back after playing to a 1-1 draw with Chippa United FC in the previous DSTV Premier League game at The New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday 18 April 2023.
In head-to-head stats, this will be the third competitive fixture between Babina Noko and Abafana besthende. Babina Noko last played against Golden Arrows on the 10th of August 2022 at The New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane where they attained a victory of 1-0 courtesy of Tashreeq Morris goal in the 45th minute.
SKUFC have accumulated 9 points from 12 away matches so far this season and have only picked up 1 point in the previous 3 league matches, firmly placed in 11th position on the log standings with 28 points from 23 matches while Abafana Besthende is in 12th position with the same number of points and matches.
With the international FIFA break behind us, coach Brandon Truter will once again be working with the complete team after four of Babina Noko’s international players Nyiko Mobbie, Toaster Nsabatha, Rodrick Kabwe, and Badra Ali Sangare returned from representing South Africa, Zambia, and Ivory Coast respectively.
Babina Noko Head coach Truter articulated explicitly that the FIFA break has helped them to fine-tune their mistakes which resulted in an unimpressive result in the previous 3 games.
Truter further indicated that the mood in the camp is high, and the players know the nature of the game and that they must play well against Arrows.
