NEWLY-FORMED ZIFA Northern Region Division One Soccer League side Scotland FC’s coach William Nyasulu believes they have what it takes to take on MWOS in their second match of the league at Heart Stadium tomorrow.

Nyasulu is looking forward to the encounter with a lot of optimism and is hopeful of collecting maximum points against Lloyd Mutasa’s side who are among the favourites to emerge as the champions at the end of the season.

The former Mabvuku United coach said he is happy with their start of the season and looks forward to do well.

“We are very happy that we managed to start our campaign with a win away from home to Zambezi Gas and Coal which was a difficult game.

“We will be playing at home and I believe we will utilise our home advantage. We respect MWOS as they have been in the League before us but we are now playing at par.

 “But I’m happy that the boys managed to play very well and now we will be facing one of the big teams in the league, MWOS, who have an experienced coach in Lloyd Mutasa. 

“We understand how difficult the game is going to be but I’m very positive that we will equally fight for maximum points. 

“For us to show our seriousness in the league, we have to win such big games and if we are to win, I’m sure it will send a clear message to other teams that we are here not to add numbers but to compete for the top place in the league,” said Nyasulu.

The other match tomorrow will see Herentals Under-20 taking on PAM at Motor Action.
