The battle for a place in the Bulawayo Social Soccer League (BSSL) Champions of Champions mini tournament slated for December intensifies today when log leaders Man U host Mthala at Emakhandeni (11 am).
A win for table toppers, Man U will see them remain six points clear of their nearest rivals Stars FC. They have collected 70 points from 28 games. On the other hand, a win for Mthala, who are stuck on position six on the table after harvesting 68 points from a similar number of games will see them reduce the deficit to just seven points.
However, looking at the way sizzling hot Man U have been doing business ever since they occupied the top spot in Pool A, chances are very slim that Mthala will return home a happy people. According to fixtures secretary, Blessing Adolp Jonga, other matches to look out for are of Pool B where log leaders Ndola who take on Pelandaba at Iminyela.
Elsewhere, Pool C log leaders Celtics seem to have what looks like an easy assignment on paper against FC Zonke at Food 4 Less playground. Meanwhile, from the games played last weekend Skippers scored the highest number of goals after winning 9-1 away to Luveve at Chigumira football pitch.
