There are 14 games to go in the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer season.
Bikita Minerals narrowly escaped relegation last season when they finished the campaign with a paltry 38 points from 34 matches.
For DeMbare to reach 40 points and be guaranteed of survival, they need 25 more points from where they are now, 15 points.
Bikita finished 14th while ZPC Kariba finished 13th with 41 points.
TelOne, Yadah and GreenFuel finished the campaign tied on 45 points.
The consensus, as far as the Premier Soccer League is concerned, is that any team that reaches the 40-point mark would have guaranteed itself a place in the country’s top-flight league the following season.
Fading giants Dynamos are flirting with relegation and look down and out despite their coach Saul Chaminuka saying otherwise.
The troubled Harare giants need to win at least 8 of their remaining 14 games to avoid the chop.
That mammoth task, by their current standards, starts with the quest to win this weekend’s fixture against defending champions Simba Bhora at Wadzanai.
The Glamour Boys, despite their well-documented problems, actually beat Simba in the reverse fixture at Rufaro and will be hoping for a positive result against the log leaders, who have not lost at their fortress this season.
It’s hard to believe that less than 3 years ago, Dynamos could afford to fly the team to Bulawayo for all league matches at Babourfields but now can’t afford a full training kit, according to one senior player who spoke to Fanzone on condition that he won’t be named.
“To be honest, we are not confident of survival. Things have just been bad. We don’t even have a proper training kit, which is sad for a big institution like Dynamos,” said the player.
