Defending champions Motor Action will leave no stone unturned in their quest to maintain their pole position when they take on struggling Kiglon in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at Gwanzura on Saturday afternoon.
The Mighty Bulls are perched at the summit of the 16-member log table with 25 points from 12 matches after they were held to a goalless draw by visiting Hwange in their last league match on Wednesday.
Kiglon are fourth from the bottom with 13 points from 12 matches.
Mighty Bulls head coach Joey “Mafero” Antipas will be looking forward to assembling his best side to keep the momentum going, hoping to open up the gap between them and second-placed FC Platinum who seem to be breathing hard on them.
The Mighty Bulls have proved to be a hard nut to crack as they have only lost once in 12 matches and their defence has been impressive with their number one shot stopper Marlon Jani conceding only three goals.
In yet another Harare derby, Monomotapa has been presented with a chance to stop rejuvenated Caps United when the two clash at Rufaro on Saturday afternoon.
Caps United head coach Moses “Bambo” Chunga who had been under fire from Caps United fans for a string of poor results must not treat Monomotapa with kid gloves as the team is capable of pulling shockers especially when they play big teams.
Monomotapa handed Highlanders their first defeat of the 2011 soccer season, a sign that Chunga has to be at his best to beat them.
