AS the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League progresses, giants Dynamos, Caps United and Highlanders continue to sing the blues as debutants MWOS rule the roost, signalling a new dawn in local football.
Dynamos wallow in the danger zone on position 14 with seven points, with one win, four draws and three defeats. They have scored two goals in the eight matches played this far.
Coach Lloyd Chigowe is under fire from the club's fans and at the weekend, the Glamour Boys, who last won the league title in 2014, were held to a goalless draw by financially-troubled new boys Kwekwe United.
Last year, DeMbare ended the season in position eight with 10 wins, 16 draws and eight defeats from 34 games. Their only solace was lifting the Chibuku Super Cup and taking part in the Caf Confederation Cup.
DeMbare are away to GreenFuel at Green Fuel Arena tomorrow.
It has not been rosy for Caps United, whose fans have also called for coach Lloyd Chitembwe’s head as the Green Machine struggles for victory in the league.
Caps United have won two matches in eight games and are just beneath Dynamos on the table on position 15, also with seven points after they got their second win of the season by beating Yadah 1-0 at the weekend.
They have a tough one against FC Platinum at Rufaro Stadium tomorrow.
