Derby Trivia

expatriate coach will take charge of a team in the Harare Derby in nine years — Zambian coach, Keegan Mumba was the last when he was the DeMbare gaffer in 2003.
l Sean Connor is the second European coach to take charge of either CAPS United or Dynamos after Dutchman, Clemens Westerhof, whose stay at the Glamour Boys lasted only two months.
l Connor and Callisto Pasuwa will be taking charge of their first Harare Derby showdown and how they react to all the pressure that will be created by this explosive battle will be key.
l Although Pasuwa led Dynamos to a 1-0 victory over CAPS United in the Mbada Diamonds Cup first round tie at the National Sports Stadium last year, he never took charge of the Glamour Boys’ league matches against their bitter rivals.
l Lloyd Mutasa was in charge of DeMbare when they beat CAPS United back-to-back in the league at the giant stadium last year, winning 1-0 in a poor first game decided by Tawanda Muparati’s late goal and coming back from behind, through Rodrick Mutuma’s double, for a 21 win.
l The man who scored the own goal, which decided the last meeting between the two giants, David Sengu, will not be in action tomorrow after his contract was nullified by CAPS United following a player revolt at the club.
l Four Dynamos players who played in that last match — Washington Arubi, Archie Gutu, Cuthbert Malajila and Leo Kurauzvione (whose registration has been revoked to make way for other players)  will not feature tomorrow.
l Four CAPS United players who played in that last match — Muzondiwa Gonese, Stephen Alimenda, Leonard Tsipa and Sengu — will not feature in tomorrow’s match for one reason or another.
l Shingi Kawondera is set for his first dance with the Harare Derby after ending a lengthy stay in Europe to play in the domestic Premiership in the colours of the Green Machine.
l While it has taken Kawondera just four games, on his homecoming show, to play in the Harare Derby, hitman Takesure Chinyama did not get his chance despite spending six months at DeMbare and left to join Orlando Pirates just days before the Harare Derby.
