CUT Legends coach, Adonis Sithole, said they will need to be at their best when they face Black Panther in a Harare Saturday Soccer League at Motor Action Sports Club this weekend.

CUT Legends will be looking for maximum points after being humbled 0-2 by Black Panther in the reverse fixture.

“Black Panther are quite a strong side.

“Currently they are in the top three on the league table.

“That is a bold statement from them considering how competitive our league is as per social league standards.

“We have scheduled a Friday Zoom team meeting to brief and psyche up each other for the match.

“We lost 2-0 in the first-leg, but this time around, we need nothing but all three points that are at stake,” he said.

Sithole said if they can just strive to maintain possession, it will give them an edge over their opponents.

“We will try to control the game by keeping possession.

“With possession, we can dictate the pace of the game, and that might work in our favour.

“We also have to be solid in defence.

“We can then use our wingbacks and the midfield to create a brick wall in front of our goal area.

“We can also hit them on the counter, as they tend to expose themselves whenever they are attacking.”

CUT Legends are eighth on the HSSL table.

They have 31 points while Black Panther are third with 45 points.

CUT Legends are former students of the Chinhoyi University of Technology.
