Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Mandava Stadium clash with TelOne, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier Soccer League table.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a CAF Champions League match only four days ago.
Platinum form and stats
6-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier Soccer League numbers at home for Platinum, who have the fewest conceded goals (12) in Premier Soccer League, so far this season.
Happy days for Platinum in their previous game, a CAF Champions League match away at Songo that ended with a 4-2 victory. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Mushowani Stars that ended 0-0.
The Platinum fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. Platinum have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.
TelOne form and stats
TelOne have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Premier Soccer League, after 1-7-4 (12 played).
The supporters enjoyed TelOne's previous game versus Ngezi Platinum (placed 6th), a Premier Soccer League 1-0 win played at home. Before that, TelOne travelled to Dynamos and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting TelOne as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. TelOne have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
