Matchday 24 of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League promises fireworks as FC Platinum host Scottland at the intimidating Mandava Stadium in what is set to be one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season.
FC Platinum remain the only unbeaten side in the league so far, a testament to their consistency and quality. They’ve now racked up four consecutive wins and sit in fourth place, just four points off the summit, with a game in hand. Their defence has been nearly impenetrable due to Marowa and Phiri, and with midfield general Jarrison Selemani and versatile Magalane in the gates, they’ve become one of the toughest sides to crack.
Scottland, meanwhile, are flying high in second place, also boasting four wins on the trot. While they’ve lost four times this season, their recent form and aggressive recruitment strategy have turned heads. This transfer window saw them bring in Shidolo, Dzvukamanja, Chihweta, and perhaps the most shocking signing of all — Knowledge Musona, the legendary former Warriors captain. The big question is whether this revamped and revitalised Scottland squad has what it takes to hand FC Platinum their first defeat of the campaign.
With both teams hitting peak form, fans can expect a high-quality encounter. FC Platinum’s fortress at Mandava is notoriously difficult to conquer, but Scottland’s new-look attack will believe they can breach even the sternest defence. While Platinum’s structure and discipline will be hard to break down, Scottland’s ambition and firepower could be the key.
This one has all the makings of a thriller. Expect both sides to find the net, but neither to come out on top.
Final Prediction: FC Platinum 1 – 1 Scottland

Knowing Norman Mapeza for his tactical depth, calculated formations, and adaptive game plans, one cannot overlook his knack for unlocking tight games. Despite Scotland FC parading the illustrious Knowledge Musona fresh from the Saudi league, class alone doesn’t win matches , strategy does. Mapeza is not one to be starstruck; he studies systems, not just stars. If football is chess, then Mapeza is a grandmaster ,patiently setting traps, controlling the tempo, and waiting for the killer move. Against Scotland FC, expect a well-oiled machine ready to nullify brilliance and convert discipline into dominance. All signs point to a tactician’s triumph.
Interesting take on the game. Let’s see what the weekend brings. This is a pivotal game in the race to the top of the league.
