An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 14th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Bulawayo Chiefs form and stats
Bulawayo Chiefs's results here at Luveve Stadium in the Premier Soccer League have been very modest with 3 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats.
The Bulawayo Chiefs fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier Soccer League game also here at Luveve Stadium: A 1-3 defeat against Highlanders (placed 10th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Yadah with a 2-0 scoreline.
Bulawayo Chiefs are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Harare City form and stats
There's been little loot from Harare City's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the Premier Soccer League. Harare City only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Premier Soccer League match played at their home ground Luveve Stadium. Harare City suffered a 0-1 loss to CAPS United (placed 3rd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Black Rhinos wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Harare City as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. 14 goals have been conceded by Harare City in these games.
