The Chibuku Super Cup preliminary round kicks off today with an intriguing clash between Yadah FC and Dynamos at MWOS Ngoni Stadium. While many may expect Dynamos to dominate based on stature alone, recent form tells a different story — one that gives Yadah a real chance to cause an upset.
Yadah head into the tie unbeaten in their last four league games, with two wins and two draws, and just a single loss in their last five. While they currently sit 17th on the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League table, their performances have shown grit and improvement, including a morale-boosting win over MWOS FC in recent weeks.
Dynamos, on the other hand, have struggled to find rhythm. They come into this game with just one win in their last five matches — a narrow victory last weekend. Three defeats and a draw before that stretch cast doubts over their consistency and attacking edge. However, like Yadah, they also beat MWOS FC recently, which might offer a much-needed shot of confidence.
With cup football being notoriously unpredictable, this encounter could come down to tactical discipline and who wants it more. Yadah’s solid form and defensive improvement suggest they might just have the edge today. Don’t be surprised if the Miracle Boys snatch a narrow 1-0 win and book their spot in the next round.
Will Yadah pull off a giant-killing, or will DeMbare show their cup pedigree?
