FC Platinum look to build on momentum

FC Platinum will this weekend face Bulawayo City in a tricky encounter slated for Barbourfields stadium on Saturday. Following a dry spell in which they struggled to register a win, FC Platinum finally registered maximum points in their 1 nil win over Wha Wha FC at Mandava stadium last weekend.

With the win having lifted FC Platinum into 6th position with 16 points, the platinum miners will be eager to build on the positive momentum when they clash against Bulawayo City.

Having picked up just 2 points in their last 5 matches and second from bottom with just 6 points from 10 matches, Bulawayo City will be desperate for points when they meet FC Platinum.

While a dramatic late winner by Innocent Mucheneka was enough to hand FC Platinum with maximum points in their last outing, Norman Mapeza will be hoping his charges can exhibit more control when they play Bulawayo City.

With just 7 points separating FC Platinum from log leaders Chicken Inn, the 3-time league winners will be hoping for a positive result in their next outing.

The major worrying factor from an FC Platinum perspective will be a clear lack of goals heading into their weekend fixture. In their last 5 encounters FC Platinum have managed to find the back of the net just twice and Norman Mapeza will be looking for greater efficiency in the attacking third.

While FC Platinum have conceded just 6 goals so far this season, it is their attacking potency that will once again come under scrutiny.
