Manica Diamonds sees hope despite their rocky start to the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season. The team sits six points behind leaders MWOS after seven weeks, with three wins, two draws, and two losses. They face struggling Chicken Inn today at Sakubva stadium as they hunt for their first back-to-back victories this season.
Coach Jairos Tapera remains positive even after last week when his team lost a 2-0 lead against TelOne, ending with a 2-2 draw. Injuries hurt the squad's progress, with key defenders Lawrence Mhlanga, Rainsome Pavari, and Liberty Masvaure likely missing today. Their absence shows as the once-solid defense has allowed eight goals already this season.
Charles Teguru has scored two goals this season alongside former Ngezi striker Anelka Chivandire. Their opponents, Chicken Inn, have problems of their own, with just one win from seven matches. Coach Joey Antipas faces pressure from club leaders who might replace him. Fans can watch live coverage on ZTN Prime starting at 2:30 p.m.
