WINDHOEK â€" The peak of the weekend's MTC Premiership top of the table clash between Orlando and African Stars tonight promises plenty of fireworks.
The two in form Katutura giants will confront each other at the Sam Nujoma Stadium near Katutura, tonight (20h00).

Both teams are unbeaten in the current campaign after eight rounds of matches in the lucrative premiership.
The Buccaneers are in fine form and have been finding the net regularly and their strike rate has become a nightmare to most opponents in the league of late.
Despite going into their penultimate clash without the services of influential midfielder Mohammed "Slice" Ouseb (suspension) and reliable centre back Enrico Afrikaner (knee) coach Dawid Snewe is highly confident of registering a rare win over the defending champions.
"We are ready for the match and I can't see why we should not take all three points. In fact, I'm flabbergasted by the hype around Stars â€" I really don't see anything special in their playing style. They are too one dimensional and should pose little danger, if any, for my boys because we have hit form at the right time and should be able to silence them," said Snewe.

His counterpart, Bobby Samaria is a man of few words and could confirm that he has a fully fit squad to choose from for tonight's clash.

"You should know me by now â€" I'm not in the habit of talking before the match â€" we will do the business on the playing field and do the talking after the final whistle, so, call me after the match and I'll freely talk to you my friend."

The coastal side has been in fine form of late and should have little trouble in seeing off their struggling opponents.

The Birds were held to an uninspiring 1-all draw by the league new boys United Stars in Grootfontein last weekend. Another lukewarm performance could see them dropping out of the title race.
