Black Leopards vs Golden Arrows: Prediction, scores, kick-off time and head-to-head
Luc Eymael and Steve Komphela renew hostilities as Black Leopards host Golden Arrows on Saturday evening.
Eymael mocked Komphela’s lack of trophies in 2018 after himself winning the Nedbank Cup with Free State Stars. Nevertheless, Komphela is laughing loudest at present as Arrows sit fourth in the Premiership while Leopards fend off relegation.
“That one must not come to South Africa‚” Komphela said of Eymael earlier this season.
“I’m not being disrespectful‚ but Luc must not come to South Africa.
“This guy has disrespected people tremendously and this nation would be naïve‚ if not very close to stupid‚ if they were to allow such a man to come and work here.
“Why give the man the respect and resources that belong to our country when he thinks so little of us.”
As it turned out, Eymael landed a job at Lidoda Duvha less than two weeks later.
Black Leopards were humbled 3-0 by Chippa United away from home in their last game, while Golden Arrows beat Baroka 1-0. The fans will be the twelfth man in the stands at Thohoyandou and Eymael will be counting on them to deliver.
