All-or-nothing for DeMbare, Ngezi

The ManicaPost

STEEMED followers of the game of football, thank you for finding time for interaction. With five fixtures left before the season concludes, it is very much delicately poised at the top end of the table. Tomorrow (Saturday) title-chasing Dynamos and Ngezi Platinum Stars will slug it out, where one will seek to outsprint the other in a match whose outcome may have a huge bearing on how the remainder of the season pans out.

The Harare giants and Mhondoro miners are precariously separated by only a single point in second and third respectively behind FC Platinum who are also enjoying a one-point lead at the top. Thus, this makes it an all-or-nothing match in which the two sides have everything to fight for, everything to gain and something to lose as they gun for the top honour.

In the running battle, both have tasted the sweetness of being perched at the summit in what has been a fluctuating affair at the top of the log involving all the pacesetting quartet of FC Platinum, Dynamos, Ngezi Platinum Stars and Chicken Inn. Each would, therefore, be relishing to soar higher than the rest, return to the apex and seize control of proceedings again as the league saunters to its business end.

As such, whoever loses this one slips further behind, while a win keeps them at pace. This contest has also generated some subplot interest owing to the identities of the gaffers in charge – Lloyd Mutasa and Tonderai Ndiraya are Dynamos sons, two former midfielders who once shared the Glamour Boys locker room.  The two will momentarily bury their brotherhood for 90 minutes as they take to the park and battle to outshine each other in a battle of tactical wits.

Can Ndiraya pull one over his buddy Mutasa and avenge the loss suffered at National Sports in June during a five-goal thriller that went 3-2 the host’s way.

Away and tricky for FC Platinum, Chicken Inn

Unpredictable Harare City host Pure Platinum Play and may be party spoilers as they aim to steer clear to safety from relegation and preserve their own Premiership status.

Away to ZPC Kariba, Chicken Inn need to be wary of the potential threat of electrocution posed at Nyamhunga.

It’s Game On, Play On!
