Premier Soccer League side, Scottland FC is set to face off against Manica Diamonds on Thursday in a thrilling matchday 3 encounter. The reigning champions, who have drawn their last two matches, are eager to return to winning ways.

After a goalless draw against Hardrock FC and a 1-1 draw at home to Ngezi Platinum, Head Coach Norman Mapeza has assured fans that the team’s form dip is temporary. “Everything has gone well in terms of preparations. The guys have been pushing,” Mapeza said.

With a solid defense and midfield, Mapeza is confident that Scottland FC will bounce back, focusing on polishing their performance in the final third and converting chances. The team is set to face Manica Diamonds, looking to turn the tide and regain top form.
