Stars look to redeem themselves
African Stars, the Samba Boys of Namibian football, will clash with Blue Waters tonight at the Sam Nujoma Stadium.
The 2018/19 Namibia Premier League (NPL) match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00, with Stars looking to redeem themselves after going down 1-2 to Citizens on Tuesday.
This was the fourth defeat of the season for the Stars, who are battling tooth-and-nail to close the gap created by Black Africa (BA) at the top of the league table.
“The loss was a setback because our ambition is to keep up with BA. We go into tonight's match hoping to redeem ourselves, even though it will be a difficult task. We want the fans to come back to the stadium and support the team; when chips are down, that's when we need them the most,” said Bobby Samaria, head coach of Stars. He added they have a few niggling injuries in camp.
“Attacker Panduleni Nekundi is injured, so is Ambrosius Amseb. Besides that all is well so far.”
Their rivals tonight, Blue Waters are also looking to secure a win.
The coastal side have already lost seven matches out of the 12 they have played so far in the league.
The club also only managed to record two wins and three draws, while conceding 20 goals in the process. Blue Waters coach Christie //Guruseb said they need to work hard because things are not looking good at the moment.
“I, however, believe that the team will avoid relegation if they apply their minds in the right manner,” he said. Other matches in the league will see Citizens facing Julinho Sporting at 17:00 at Sam Nujoma Stadium, and Life Fighters meeting Eleven Arrows at the Mokati Stadium in Otjiwarongo at 16:00. Both matches take place tomorrow. On Sunday Blue Waters will cross swords with the Clever Boys of Unam at 16:00. The match will take place at the Unam Stadium.
