Black Rhinos midfielder Nkosi Mhlanga says they will be gunning for victory when they face Chicken Inn in the Chibuku Super Cup at Luveve on Saturday.
Despite having a poor season, Black Rhinos have emerged as a force in the cup after knocking out fellow army side Cranborne Bullets and favourites Manica Diamonds and are now looking forward to upsetting the Gamecocks in their backyard.
Last year Rhinos edged Chicken in the quarter-finals to book a ticket to the semi-final and they will be looking to replicate that same feat.
Mhlanga believes they are in good shape as a team and can grind a much-needed result. The team is inspired by their last win against title aspirants Manica Diamonds.
“We want to win and make sure we progress to the next round,’’ said Mhlanga.
“This is a cup game and every small detail has to be taken note of as there is a need for high-concentration.
“Normally we don’t look into form but what you are putting into on the day. How you are going to apply yourself in the field of play.
“We have been struggling in the league but I guess the win against Manica is a good motivation for us. We want to win as many games as we can in all the competitions. If we win on Saturday it means winning two more games in the cup will see us being crowned champions and that will mean we have to work for it.
“I am quite sure as a team we have enough respect for our opponents but we are going all out to defeat them. We are not underdogs though many are looking.
“We have improved a lot and it means we have a good chance to stand our own ground and dictate our own terms.
“The fact that we are not losing gives us a boost and will see us upset a number of teams that will be considering us underdogs.
