ZIFA Northern Region Division One draw specialists Chegutu Pirates head coach Arthur Tutani believes their time to collect maximum points has come when they face log leaders Golden Valley at Rimuka this afternoon.
Tutani’s men have so far managed six draws in seven outings.
The Pirates are likely to miss the services of striker, Rodreck Mutuma, who has a groin injury.
“I think our time has come now to collect maximum points as everyone is in the right frame of mind. We have been working hard and we are ready for the game.
“We are likely to miss the services of chief striker Mutuma, who has to pass a late fitness test. We have had many draws and that shows how capable the side is.
“In the game against Golden Valley we expect nothing, but a positive result,” said Tutani.
Golden Valley, under the guidance of Ignatius Kapitapita, are the team to beat in the ZIFA Northern Region Division One.
The derby has always been explosive and security has been beefed up for the showdown.
