Fungai Muderere at Luveve Stadium
IT’S do-or-die time at Luveve Stadium this afternoon as Chicken Inn lock horns with CAPS United in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match that could decide their survival fate.
Both the Gamecocks and Makepekepe are still entangled in the relegation mix, fighting tooth and nail to steer clear of the dreaded drop zone. With just a few games left, neither side can afford to blink.
Chicken Inn, who have endured a patchy run of form this season, are banking on home advantage to collect maximum points and calm anxious supporters. Coach Prince Matore’s charges will be looking to talismanic striker Leroy Chikuhwa and the experienced Malvin Charamba to deliver the goods upfront.
The hosts’ starting XI is: D Bernard, B Muza, X Ndlovu, B Rendo, M Mushonga, L Mangaira, I Mabunu, G Majika, L Chikuhwa, M Charamba, and J Tulani.
CAPS United, on the other hand, arrive in Bulawayo equally desperate for a result. Lloyd Chitembwe’s men have flirted dangerously close to the relegation zone, and the Green Machine faithful will be hoping their side shows character when it matters most.
Their probable lineup includes: K Odai, W Milanzi, J Dzingai, K Mangiza, C Chinga, B Kadamanja, L Chipanera, N Chintuli, P Bamusi, I Wadi, and M Mugalu.
With Kwekwe United already confirmed relegated, the battle for survival is heating up — and today’s clash could separate the survivors from the fallen.
At Luveve, expect fireworks, nerves, and sweat as both sides fight for dear life.
