Vodacom Premier League: Maduma going down


The craziest thing to come of last weekend was the fact that Maduma will probably get relegated when the league concludes this weekend, despite reaching the Vodacom Soccer Spectacular semi-finals and starting the season so well.

Maduma were praised, rightly so, for their confidence and the freshness they brought to the league. The Khukhune side were second in the Vodacom Premier League at some point, and looking good for at least a top half finish. But such is the craziness of the Lesotho Premiership, now with only 12 teams, that Maduma are likely to go down when the league season concludes tomorrow.

It will take a miracle to keep Maduma up. It’s highly unlikely. Maduma need to win and hope Likhopo suffer a huge a defeat, such is their inferior goal difference. In the race for a top four place, the race is between Matlama, Bantu and Lioli for the last two spots.
