The GameCox, coached by Joey Antipas have not lost at home thrashing Harare City 3-0 in their first league match at Luveve and on Easter Monday, they came from behind to settle for a 2-2 draw against FC Platinum at the same venue.
Chicken Inn lost 0-2 to Buffaloes away in Mutare and it has been a bag of mixed fortunes for the fast-foods outlet team on position eight on the log table with four points.
They will face Triangle, who have also won once, beating neighbours Chiredzi FC 3-1 at Gibbo, holding Hwange 1-1 at the Colliery on Sunday and losing 1-3 to Shabanie Mine at Maglas Stadium in their first match.
Triangles are just behind Chicken on the log table with four points.
Antipas yesterday said he was expecting a tough game against the Biggie Zuze-coached Triangle, but was hoping to do better in a match skipper Danny “Deco” Phiri will be doubtful due to injury.
“It’s another tight fixture against Triangle. We have not done badly so far and we are away hoping to do better. We will have to push ourselves to the maximum,” he said.

Zuze said he was hoping that injured Nhamo Lameck would be back on his feet for the Sunday match, but said Courage Denias would still be out.
“We don’t expect much. We just hope for the best. We have a couple of injuries, but we hope by Saturday (tomorrow) we will be okay,” he said.
Tinei Chitora, Pascal Manhanga, Tichaona Chipunza, Felix Kuswatuka and Blessing Maziwisa are some of the faces at Triangle.
