As Chicken Inn prepares for a crucial clash against league leaders Simba Bhora this Saturday, head coach Joey Antipas is sounding the alarm over officiating concerns at Wadzanai Stadium. This venue has become a contentious battleground, with teams like Highlanders FC previously voicing frustrations over questionable decisions affecting match outcomes.
Antipas has made it clear: he values fair play above all. “I’d rather lose than have the result swayed by dubious officiating,” he stated firmly. Simba Bhora currently sits atop the league table with 57 points from 28 matches (17 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses) and is on an impressive unbeaten run of 12 games. A victory against Chicken Inn would not only solidify their lead but also equal Manica Diamonds’ longest unbeaten streak of 13 games this season.
Wadzanai Stadium has proven a fortress for Simba Bhora, who have yet to lose there since ZIFA approved it for Premiership matches. In stark contrast, Chicken Inn struggles in sixth place with 39 points and has faced inconsistency throughout the season.
Despite these challenges, Antipas is optimistic following a recent 2-0 victory over Bulawayo Chiefs. The team is eager to seize the momentum and aim for an upset against the league leaders.
With so much at stake, this matchup at Wadzanai Stadium has captured the attention of fans and pundits alike. Can Chicken Inn defy the odds, and will fair officiating finally take center stage?
