DYNAMOS return to Rufaro this weekend as they host plucky gold miners How Mine in a Castle Lager Premiership tie on Sunday.

The champions are coming from a dispiriting 1-1 draw away to relegation-threatened Tsholotsho which left them stuck on third position with 36 points- four adrift of the log leaders Chicken Inn.
A victory over Tsholotsho would have seen them reducing the gap between them and the log leaders to just two points.
But a horrendous mistake by midfielder Stephen Alimenda allowed Tsholotsho to steal a point. Now as they return to Rufaro, where they have lost just once this season-a 3-0 defeat to Chicken Inn, they will be hoping to complete a double over How Mine, whom they overcame 1-0 in the first leg meeting.
With the log leaders taking on Highlanders in Bulawayo on the same day, Dynamos have a good opportunity to close in on them should Chicken Inn stumble.
In another match Caps United travel to Ascot for a date against Chapungu with coach Mark Mathe hoping to secure victory having drawn the last two league matches against Tsholotsho and Dongo Saw Mill.
Mathe is under pressure to deliver since he took over from Englishman Mark Harrison. While, he appears to be doing everything right from a technical point of view, his players are letting him down as they are found wanting when it comes to decision-making in the penalty area.
