Last weekend they beat Lake Harvest 1-0 to maintain pole position on the league table. They are now enjoying a cool breeze at the summit of the table with nine points and will be hoping to consolidate their position with another victory against Commando.
Commandos were dismissed 1-2 by Mushowani leaving them on 12th position on the league table. They have two points after two drawn games and one defeat.
Elsewhere, former Premier Soccer League side Black Mambas now known as ZRP FC will be hoping to continue with their winning streak when they face Gunners.
The John Ncube-coached side defeated Karoi United 1-0 at the weekend to climb to fourth position.
They now have six points after two wins and one defeat. Ncube said his team which was relegated from the PSL last season is still adjusting to the highly robust and physical game common in Division One.
