BY COURAGE NYAYA Early 2021 Premier Soccer League strugglers Yadah and Harare City clash at the National Sports Stadium this afternoon with both teams seeking their first wins of the season.
The two teams’ coaches are full of confidence that they would collect their first set of maximum points.
Yadah Stars’ Jairos Tapera told NewsDay Sport that he was expecting a better performance and a positive result going into the game compared to their last match.
“I’m expecting better performance and result from my team,” he said. “The positive mind will always influence the and results in our favour. I urge my players to go into the match with a positive mind.”
Over the years, Yadah have had a slight edge, winning two of their last six meetings in the league while Harare City won one.
The rest ended in draws.
Harare City have been hit by COVID-19, with five players testing positive, but coach Tarisai Kaseke expects his side to collect maximum points anyway.
