SOCCER – Young Buffaloes are determined to claim their first win of the new season when they lock horns with Manzini Sea Birds, who come into the match riding high after a victory in their opener.

The Sea Birds aim to make it two wins in a row, having comfortably defeated newcomers Sidwashini United 2-0 last weekend.

Buffaloes, on the other hand, were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Illovo FC in their first match, a result that has left the Domini Kunene-coached side eager to start collecting maximum points. Fresh off winning the 8Bet Trade Fair Cup, Buffaloes know they have a target on their back, with every team gunning for the champions this season.

For them, starting strong in the league is crucial to maintain their momentum and set the tone for what promises to be a competitive season.

Meanwhile Manzini Sea Birds have made a statement with their opening performance and will be looking to continue their winning form.

However, they face a much sterner challenge in Buffaloes, who possess both the experience and firepower to make life difficult for their opponents. Today’s clash is expected to be a thrilling encounter, with both sides eager to cement their place at the top of the league table.

Though the season is still in its early stages, the match carries a significant weight for both teams. A win for Buffaloes could reignite their campaign and remind the rest of the league of their dominance, while another victory for Sea Birds would solidify their strong start and boost their confidence going forward.
