at Luveve Stadium on Sunday.
The other two city teams are on the road with giants Highlanders taking to the road for the first time this season with a trip to Mutare to face Buffaloes at Sakubva Stadium on Sunday while Chicken Inn start the ball rolling against Blue Rangers at Gwanzura Stadium tomorrow.
Quelaton, making their Premiership debut this year after winning the Southern Region Division One League championship last year, are yet to win having played three matches.
Quelaton who have only scored three goals this season, have already earned themselves the Premiership’s bad boys tag following the expulsion of two of their players in two successive games.
However, head coach and the league’s youngest coach at 32, Thulani Sibanda, believes Lady Luck will one day smile on them and this Sunday’s fixture might just be that day.
“My boys are really playing well and our preparations for this weekend’s game against Motor Action have gone on well so far. It’s only that one can never tell when positive results will start coming but they will come,” said Sibanda.
He said as a coach, he was not panicking despite the poor results.
“This is not my team, it has its owners and if they are panicking then its something else but as a coach I am not panicking at all,” said Sibanda, who has a habit of always putting his phone on loudspeaker when talking to the press.
Sibanda said Kundishora Chakanyuka and Timothy January have already been ruled out of selection due to injuries picked up during the 2-0 loss to Chicken Inn last Saturday.
He nevertheless has equally talented players like Eddie Nkulungo, Fortune Nkomazana and skipper Innocent Kutsanzira to rely on.
The Bulawayo outfit meets a Motor Action side that hogged the limelight for all the wrong reasons last week after refusing to go to Gwanzura Stadium for their scheduled league match against Caps United despite making a request to PSL for the match to be moved to a bigger venue.
They too take to the field having lost 4-1 on a penalty shootout to FC Platinum in the Independence Cup final played at the National Sports Stadium on Wednesday.
The Mighty Bulls have in their ranks, 35-year-old battle hardened goalminder Marlon Jani and Norman Maroto who is deadly when in form.
Adam Ndlovu leads his brave Chicken Inn boys back to the capital in what is expected to be an easy hunting expedition for them having started the season with a 0-0 home draw against Gunners before stunning Caps United 2-0 in their second match.
Fixtures:
Tomorrow: CAPS United v Harare City (National Sports Stadium); FC Platinum v Shabanie (Mandava); Monomotapa v Gunners (Rufaro); Blue Rangers v Chicken Inn (Gwanzura)
Sunday: Dynamos v Black Mambas (Rufaro); Hardbody v Hwange (Ascot); Buffaloes v Highlanders (Sakubva); Quelaton v Motor Action (Luveve).
