Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will look to maintain their position atop the Hollywoodbets Super League standings when they face JVW FC in the marquee match of Match week 24.
Melinda Kgadiete’s second-half goal gave the reigning champions all three points against a strong Tsunami Queens side last time out, demonstrating the Brazilians’ tenacity and will.
This hard-fought victory increased Banyana Ba Style’s lead atop the standings to 64 points, with 21 victories in 24 contests. A staggering 93 goals have been scored while only 11 have been conceded. A staggering goal differential of +82 demonstrates the domination of the continental champs.
TUT FC is in second place with 48 points, while JVW FC is in third place with 45 points. Only Sundowns Ladies have scored more goals than JVW FC, which has netted 62 times.
“We are playing a really solid team that has found a way to score goals all season long. They are one of three teams, including the University of Johannesburg (UJ) FC, to have scored 50 goals. They are exceptional at creating opportunities from a variety of locations on the field. Gabriela Salgado and Nompumelelo Nyandeni are capable of causing harm to anyone. However, we possess offensive threats that we cannot wait to unleash,” Coach Jerry said.
Against the Blue Diamonds, Banyana Ba Style were forced to a 2-2 away tie last season, but they prevailed 2-1 at home. Andisiwe Mgcoyi, Zanele Nhlapho, Gabonnelwe Kekana, and Rhoda Mulaudzi all scored for Kappa’s team in a 4-2 victory over their opponents earlier in the season.
Coach Jerry is not taking anything for granted despite his team’s recent success in this matchup.
“Games against JVW FC are significant, and in the context of the season, this game can be viewed as a top-of-the-table contest. However, we must steal points from teams that are attempting to mount a push for the league title. We are aware of the dangers they pose, but we are fearless and prepared to fight for maximum points on Sunday,” said Kappa.
Boitumelo Rabale and Miche Minnies are tied for first place with 16 goals each on the Sundowns’ scoring chart. Andisiwe Mgcoyi has scored 10 goals, Melinda Kgadiete has scored 8, and Rhoda Mulaudzi has scored 7 goals.
The match between Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and JVW FC will take held at Wits Main Stadium on Sunday, 16 October 2022. The contest will commence at 15:00.
