Another exciting encounter headlines this weekend's Botswana Premier League matches as Orapa United and Township Rollers clash at the Itekeng Stadium.

The venue has previously hosted thrilling meets between the two sides and fireworks are expected once again on Saturday. United and Rollers are among the early pace setters after the first five rounds. The Ostriches will look to guard their unbeaten record as they take on the Blues tomorrow afternoon. United remain the only undefeated side in the league and despite a slow start, they are getting on the right gear. The team started off with two draws but won their last three games. United has collected 11 points as they sit second just a point behind leaders, Jwaneng Galaxy. The team is still shy in front of goals and head coach, Taurai Mangwiro, would be worried as United has scored only six goals in five games while conceding three times. However, it is a game that Rollers' blue corner should win. From a blistering start, Popa has not won in the last two games. Rollers have not found the back of the net in those matches. The Blues are third on the log with 10 points, a point behind their weekend's opponents. The team, however, should not be taken lightly despite their recent struggles, as they are the highest scoring team with 10 goals while they only conceded on two occasions.
