ZIFA Northern Region Division One Soccer League table toppers Black Mambas will be expected to continue with their fine form when they face Commando Bullets in a battle of the uniformed forces at Morris this afternoon.
The Police outfit are under immense pressure after Chegutu Pirates continued with their fine run to reduce the points difference to five with a win over Harare City.
Commando Bullets coach Nqobile Mafu said the encounter is a tricky one as it has a lot at stake. “I think we are ready but the fixture is not easy. We want to improve our survival chances while the opponent is casing the championship so we need to win at all costs.
“We are coming from a disappointing defeat to Omnia so we cannot manage to drop points again. The team has been working hard and I hope we will come out with a positive result,” said Mafu.
Commando Bullets will be without their influential players in captain Rashford Makoni and veteran Charles Murisa.
