Chicken Inn hosts defending premier soccer league Champions F.C Platinum in what easily looks like the headline fixture of match day 5.

The gamecocks go into this tie smarting from a one nil loss to Mhondoro based Ngezi Platinum stars. The Bulawayo based side have collected mine points so far this term courtesy of three wins and a loss.

F.C Platinum go into this tie with three wins and a draw. “It’s a huge game for us, Chicken Inn got a good start (but), after losing to Ngezi Platinum over the Easter holidays, for us to get maximum points there we have to put everything into the game,” Norman Mapeza said ahead of the big match that is set for Luveve stadium.

Football followers will also be gluing their eyes on the Telone versus Dynamos clash set for Barbourfields stadium with many hoping to see whether the new brooms introduced at Dynamos this week can turn around the fortunes of Zimbabwe's most successful club.

Dynamos fired Coach Loyd “Mablanyo” Chigove this week and replaced him with National under 23 coach Tonderayi Ndiraya.
