A potentially explosive encounter is on the cards in the Zifa Bulawayo Metropolitan Province Division Two Soccer League when leaders Toronto take on fourth placed Zenzele Tigers at Pumula East garage today.

Toronto, the only team yet to lose this season will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to 14 games and probably take their points tally to 34 with a victory over Zenzele.

Zenzele who have 24 points from 13 outings have termed today’s encounter “a David and Goliath” affair.

“We are still a baby in this league since this is our first season. We respect our opponents and it’s not a fluke that they are on top because they are an experienced side. However, we’re not reading much into that as we just want to go out there and enjoy ourselves. We will give a good account of ourselves and hopefully we will get a positive result,” said Garion Nyathi, Zenzele coach.

Zenzele go into today’s game with their heads high following last weekend’s 2-1 win over Khami United last week.

Toronto played to a 2-2 draw against former First Division side Ajax.

Toronto head coach Ghetto Nkala is confident of a victory this afternoon.

“The goal is always to win every encounter and at this point we can’t afford to drop points as we are in a tight race. We want to maintain our unbeaten run and that requires us to fight hard,” said Nkala.

Both teams have a few injury worries heading into the fixture with Zenzele set to miss the services of Charles Phiri while Toronto will be without Nkosilathi Dube, Keith Chikuni and Brian Kamusoko.

Meanwhile, second placed CIWU who trail Toronto by three points have a tricky away encounter against Chicken Inn at Njube’s Desert Grounds while third on the table Ajax are away in Sizinda to CS Distributors.
