Defending Castle Lager Premiership champions Simba Bhora’s position at the top of the table will be under a massive test when they visit Ascot Stadium to face a tricky TelOne test tomorrow.
The 2025 campaign reaches the match day 22 mark with Simba at the summit of the table on 43 points, three clear of second-placed MWOS.
Joel Luphahla’s charges left it late to beat relegation-threatened Harare giants Dynamos last week, while MWOS succumbed to their first defeat at Ngoni since 2023, when they were beaten 2-0 by resurgent FC Platinum.
Simba will face a TelOne side oozing with confidence, amid an unbeaten run stretching up to seven matches.
That form has resulted in TelOne coach Hebert ‘Jompano’ Maruwa publicly declaring that the WiFi Boys are challenging for the championship.
Elsewhere, second-placed MWOS travel to Nyamhunga to face ZPC Kariba is another tricky assignment.
The Punters desperately need to return to winning ways after two consecutive defeats.
Lloyd Mutasa’s charges wasted a glut of goalscoring opportunities in the defeat to MWOS and will be hoping that Billy Veremu, who hasn’t scored of late, does so in Kariba.
ZPC have not lost at Nyamhunga this season, and MWOS will have to be at their best to come out of the difficult venue with maximum points.
At the Baobab, Ngezi Platinum Stars welcome a CAPS United side who are winless in their last two matches.
CAPS scored with the last kick of the game to force a 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Triangle United before playing a goalless draw with TelOne last week.
Ngezi chairman Leonard Musariri, speaking on this week’s Fanzone episode, expressed confidence that Madumburo will get the victory.
