Defending champions Simba Bhora and perennial contenders FC Platinum will renew their rivalry in tomorrow’s 2025 Presidential Uhuru Cup clash in Gokwe, offering both sides a chance to claim early silverware in what promises to be a fiercely contested encounter.
A Rematch of Opening Day Stalemate
The two sides played out a cagey 0-0 draw in their PSL season opener at Wadzanayi Stadium, but with silverware on the line, expect a more attacking approach this time around.
Simba Bhora arrives in scintillating form, fresh from a 4-1 demolition of Manica Diamonds—their second straight win. FC Platinum, however, are winless in their last four league matches and will be desperate to turn their fortunes around.
League Form Contrasts
Simba Bhora (4th, 11 pts): Recently, Simba Bhora have picked up their pace with some high-scoring, confident, and clinical performances, making a threat, while FC Platinum (10th, 8 pts) seem to be struggling for wins but are defensively resolute, as seen with their four consecutive draws.
What’s at Stake?
Beyond the trophy, momentum is key—both teams face tricky PSL fixtures just three days later: Simba Bhora travels to face a resurgent Chicken Inn, who are fresh from a win against Harare Giants Dynamos. FC Platinum plays away to star-studded Scotland at Rufaro Stadium.
