Yadah hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 14 points and a 15th position in the Premier Soccer League table. Visiting Harare City holds 10th place with 19 pts.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
