All eyes will be on Ngoni Stadium this Saturday as MWOS FC host log leaders Simba Bhora in a potentially decisive Matchday 25 fixture of the Premier Soccer League.
MWOS come into this encounter buoyed by a morale-boosting 2-0 victory over CAPS United last weekend in the Chibuku Super Cup – their only win in the last five matches across all competitions. In league action, however, the Ngoni-based side have managed just two draws and three defeats in their last five outings, a dip in form that has put pressure on their push for the title. Despite this, they still sit third on the table, keeping their championship hopes alive.
Simba Bhora, on the other hand, remain the team to beat. The PSL pacesetters have recorded two wins, two draws and a single defeat in their last five league matches, the loss coming against TelOne. Their away form, however, shows some vulnerability – with three defeats on the road this season.
Both sides had contrasting fortunes in the cup over the weekend. MWOS looked sharp and clinical in their win over CAPS, while Simba Bhora were edged out by Dynamos in a penalty shootout at Wadzanayi Stadium after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Saturday’s match promises to be a battle of contrasting strengths: MWOS’ solid home record, having lost only once at Ngoni this season, against Simba Bhora’s relentless attacking style. With so much at stake for both sides, it is expected to be a tense and closely fought contest.
