GWERU based premiership outfit Chapungu coach, John Nyikadzino is bullish ahead of his side’s clash against ailing How Mine this afternoon at Ascot Stadium.

The airmen who survived relegation by a whisker last season, have improved tremendously this season and are gunning for a top eight finish.
“Waru Waru” ninth on the table with 38 points and are tied with Harare City who have a better goal difference.

A win tomorrow and a draw or a loss by either Harare City or seventh placed Hwange will see the airmen storming into the top eight.

Harare City travel to Bulawayo for a date with relegation threatened Tsholotsho while Hwange play host to Triangle United at the Colliery.

“This is like a final for us and we have to collect maximum points at all costs and I do not see anything stopping us. We have a                              very clean bill of health and all the players who were on suspension are back in                                                                                                                     the fold.

“The boys know what this game means for us and nothing can stop us from collecting maximum points given that we will be playing at home,” he said.

The striking duo of Tinei Chitora and former Dynamos striker, Allan Tavarwisa who have so far banged 15 goals between themselves, are expected to give the cutting edge to “Waru Waru.”

Maxwell Mavuto is expected to operate from just behind the strikers while the ageless Philip Marufu will be roving on the right wing and Nhlanhla Ncube will add the impetus on the right.

However, How Mine who had an indifferent season after being touted as one of the championship favourites, will be out to spoil the party for the Gweru  side.

“Chikurupati” who were humiliated one nil by relegated Dongo Sawmills, would want to end the season on a high.
