CHICKEN INN will get their preparations for Sunday’s tough match against Dynamos at home underway this afternoon when they engage relegated Tripple B at Dulibadzimu Stadium in Beitbridge. MUKUDZEI CHINGWERE SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
The last time new Chicken Inn coach Joey Antipas was in the border town, he left clutching thin air as his former side, the now relegated Motor Action, lost 1-0.
But he was not worried about his previous ill-fated visit to the border town though anticipating a tough outing.
“Our preparations are going according to plan and I am confident that we will win,” he said.
“It is going to be a tough match for us because we will be playing away from home. They are already relegated so they will not be under any pressure.
“The last time I was in Beitbridge my team lost, but it will be different now because I am no longer coaching the same team,” he said.
Chicken Inn have not lost in the two games he has been in charge, managing a 1-1 draw against Monomotapa in Harare before beating FC Platinum 2-0 at Luveve.
Tripple B coach Peter Manoti insisted that his charges would give their best in the remaining fixtures despite being relegated already. He emphasised the need to build a team for the future.

“We will uphold the basics of fair play in our remaining matches by playing to win all games.
“We will give a chance to some of our youngsters who have not been playing regularly with the view of building a team for life in Division one next season,” Manoti said.
Chicken Inn, five points adrift of a top-four finish, have a chance of landing the top-four spot if they manage to win their remaining matches and hope that other teams above them drop points along the way.
