LEAGUE champions Dynamos will be looking forward to completing a double over Hwange and stretching the lead on the log table when the two sides meet in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at the Colliery this afternoon.

DeMbare beat Hwange 2-0 at Rufaro Stadium in May with Washington Pakamisa and Farai Mupasiri on target, but the coal miners have always been hard to beat in their own turf.
On Sunday they kicked out FC Platinum from the Mbada Diamonds Cup with a penalty by Gerald Ndlovu.
Glamour Boys coach Kalisto Pasuwa has made his intentions of defending the title clear having won the last three league matches in Harare — beating bitter rivals Caps United 1-0, Harare City 3-1 and Motor Action 1-0.
The three wins came after they had been held to a goalless draw by Black Rhinos at Rimuka Stadium in Kadoma on July 21.
As Dynamos seek to stretch the lead at the apex, Hwange gaffer Nation Dube has the headache of trying to steer the coal miners away from the relegation zone as they precariously sit on position 13 on the table with 22 points from 21 matches.
Chicken Inn, still putting up a fight and nursing hopes of landing the title while seven points behind Dynamos on position six, have what looks like an easy assignment today when they take on struggling Motor Action and the Motor Action Sports Club in Harare.
