ZIFA Southern Region Division One log leaders Bulawayo Chiefs will be in for yet another tricky encounter when they entertain dark horses Tsholotsho at Dingumuzi in Plumtree tomorrow.
SPORTS REPORTER
The going seems to have gone tough for the Rahman Gumbo-coached Division One outfit after they suffered their fourth defeat in the league last Saturday losing 0-1 to ZPC Hwange in the coal mining town.
Tsholotsho, coached by Lizwe Sweswe, will be looking forward to close the gap on Chiefs. They sit on position three, five points behind the league pacesetters.
They were the second team to beat Chiefs in the first round of the league when they dismissed the Plumtree-based outfit 1-0 in Tsholotsho and will be hoping for a double when they meet in the border town tomorrow.
Chiefs have amassed 37 points from 17 matches while Tsholotsho have picked up 32 and are in the race for winning the league. There are 13 games remaining to the close of the season.
Last week Tsholotsho claimed Quelaton’s scalp at home. Second-placed Black Boots with 32 points will be at home to Hwange Juniors. Resurgent former Premiership side Zimbabwe Saints who beat Ajax Hotspurs 2-0 last week, have what looks like an easy assignment when they travel to Victoria Falls for Mkosana.
Chikwata have picked up form since engaging former Highlanders juniors gaffer Mark Mathe and have risen to position five on the log table with 28 points.
