2016 Chibuku Super Cup winners, Ngezi Platinum Stars are optimistic of pulling another shocker and retain the trophy that will see them book a place in the lucrative Confederations of African Football (CAF) Confederations Cup next year.
Ngezi will begin their defence of the Chibuku Super Cup against a rejuvenated Caps United and will be hoping for nothing but victory to entertain chances of proceeding to the next round. In their last meeting, Makepekepe ran riot and dismantled Ngezi 3-0.
Madamburo have been on a good run at home and are the only side that has not tested defeat at their own turf. Going into this game, the Tonderayi Ndiraya coached side will be banking on their experienced players in former Dynamos defender Patson Jaure, Liberty Chakoroma and many others.
In an interview with 263Chat, Ngezi Platinum stars Media Officer, Calvin Mavunga expressed confidence that his team going into this game on the back of an impressive that has seen them beat Harare City will help boost their chances of victory.
“The team is in good form coming from the win against Harare City last Friday and we are the defending champions of the cup. We want to win it and go back to the Confederations cup next year.
“We have a dream to build our profile in Africa, so we have to continue rubbing shoulders with other African teams and this is another route to that dream. The boys are working very hard to win against Caps United,” said Mavunga.
He added that, “We are also fight to grab the league again because we are in a good position to have the league and we want both the league and Chibuku cup.”
Ngezi will be missing the services of Walter Mukanga who is out through injury.
