Punters Aim to Maintain Momentum in TelOne Test

Fresh off a morale-boosting 2-1 victory that snapped a prolonged winless streak, MWOS FC travels to Ascott Stadium this Saturday with renewed confidence to face TelOne FC. The Punters will be looking to build on their momentum and string together consecutive wins for the first time in months, a feat that would significantly bolster their league standing.

The attacking duo of Arthur Banda and Everson Feremba, who were instrumental in dismantling Chicken Inn, will be central to MWOS’ game plan once again. Their link-up play, clinical finishing, and relentless energy have given the frontline a new menacing edge, and they will be tasked with unlocking a disciplined TelOne defence.

This fixture carries a history of drama, as evidenced by the reverse leg’s thrilling 2-2 draw. That result ensures there will be no surprises between the two sides, setting the stage for a tightly contested tactical battle where minimising errors will be paramount to securing a positive result.

A significant selection headache comes in midfield, where the influential Tinotenda Mutyambizi will be unavailable due to suspension. His absence creates a void in the engine room, forcing Gaffer Lloyd Mutasa to find a suitable replacement capable of dictating the tempo and providing defensive cover against a capable TelOne side.

Despite the challenge, Head Coach Lloyd Mutasa struck an optimistic yet realistic tone in his pre-match assessment. Acknowledging the difficulty of the encounter, he emphasised the need for a top-tier performance, stating, “The game will be tough, but MWOS FC need to play their best in order to get a result.” With a near-full squad otherwise available, the Punters have the depth to navigate this challenge and prove their recent win was no fluke.
