ZIFA Southern Region Division One pacesetters Tsholotsho Pirates are aiming to upset bruised Zimbabwe Saints when they clash in a league encounter at White City Stadium tomorrow.Buoyant Tsholotsho are bubbling with confidence after handing newcomers Trumus of Victoria Falls their first defeat in the championship last weekend.

Struggling Zimbabwe Saints are still in search of a win after they lost 0-1 to Plumtree Chiefs in their last encounter.

Lizwe Sweswe coached Tsholotsho are among the favourites to challenge for the title this season as they have already taken top spot ahead of Technosphere and Plumtree Chiefs.

The top three teams are tied on seven points with Tshotsholo on top with a superior goal difference.

Sweswe said they won’t let their title ambitions blind them as they want to approach each game as it comes.

“Definitely we would like to win the championship, but we will take each game as it comes. We just hope to maintain our pole position at the moment,’ he said.

The Tsholotsho gaffer believes they face a tricky encounter against Chikwata.

“We don’t know how their side looks like, so it’s going to be a tough game as they are still searching for a first win. But we will just stick to our target which is to collect maximum points in each game,” he said.

Sweswe said his team is improving with each game.

Meanwhile, Technosphere travel to face prison warders Ntabazinduna while Black Boots take on Hwange Juniors as they hope to keep up with the leading trio.

Nust welcome Portland Cement at the university ground.
