adminwhen the two teams meet in a Zifa Northern Region Division One match at One Commando this afternoon.
The former Premiership side has been languishing in Division One for the past few seasons and the gaffer believes his team have all that it takes to win the automatic sole ticket into the Premiership.
The army side began their campaign on a positive note winning their three opening matches before being held to a goalless draw by newsboys La Liga at Hellenics last weekend.
Black Rhinos and La Liga are the joint log leaders with 10 points from four games but La Liga have a better goal difference.
“We have been practising hard all week long and everyone in the team is raring to go.
“Black Rhinos are a big team and they should not be playing in Division One, we want to return into the Premiership were we belong.
“We had a good game last weekend though we were let down by our strikers in front of goals but we have been working on that and everyone is now ready for war,” said Saruchera.
Rhinos will be banking on the experience of Lazarus Muhoni, Brighton Chandisaita, Lloyd Nyamadzawo and Walter Masenda to unsettle Harare City.
Their opponents occupy fourth place on the log with eight points after four matches.
Harare City are unbeaten after winning two and drawing two of their matches.
Bigboy Mawiwi, the Harare City coach, declared war on Rhinos.
“We are taking each game as it comes and we are looking forward to an exciting game.
“Rhinos are a good side with experienced players but I think we have enough firepower to subdue them.
“We are going to employ our usual attacking football and I am sure we will win the game.
“Godfrey Nguwodzawo is the only injury worry we have, he got five stitches in his head after a collision at training and he is definitely out but we have a big pool of players,” said Mawiwi.
Across town La Liga will be hoping to continue with their fine run when they host Karoi at Hellenics.
La Liga will welcome back their regular scorers, Scholar Hadebe and Artwell Nyamiwa, who missed last week’s goalless draw against Rhinos for disciplinary reasons.
In Dzivarasekwa flamboyant side Highfield Utd, who are yet to win a match in the Zifa Northern Region Division One League this season, take on an unpredictable side Fame Lily.
Highfield United acquired a lot of seasoned players and loaned them to Premiership clubs.
Highfield own players such as Dynamos’ goalkeeper Washington Arubi, Murape Murape, Platinum’s Benjamin Marere and the Black Mambas duo of Peter Ndlovu and Fortune Ncube.
