After four rounds of matches for most teams, the Jairos Tapera-coached side sits second on the log while the Air Force of Zimbabwe side is languishing at the bottom after collecting just one point.
Tapera is wary of the threat posed by the early season strugglers.
“It is going to be a very difficult game. Chapungu have not yet won and they will be desperate to win the game especially on their home ground,” Tapera said yesterday. “We have been doing well and we want to continue with that momentum, so it is important for us to win the game. There have been some changes in their (Chapungu) technical department which makes them very unpredictable. It is going to be an entertaining game of football as both teams are really in need of maximum points.”
Chapungu have suffered a poor start to the season after collecting just a single point so far in the campaign.
The log anchors have roped in Rodwell Dhlakama to their technical department as the technical manager to work with coach Tendai Chikuni. In the last match Chapungu lost to How Mine, who in that match collected their first set of full marks.
