Zimbabwe Warriors Coach Sunday Chidzambwa and his assistants are paying special to attention to Botswana with the hope they might face the improving Zebras in the quarter-finals of the 2018 COSAFA Cup.

The two teams met in April in a friendly match to celebrate Zimbabwe’s Independence Day and Botswana stunned Zimbabwe 1-0.

The Zebras are currently leading Group B with four points and could seal a quarter-final berth with a win over Mauritius today.

Warriors team manager Wellington Mpandare told COSAFA.com that Chidzambwa and his assistants Lloyd Mutasa, Rahman Gumbo and Brenna Msiska were eager to face Botswana.

“Botswana have kept the same squad in place for a long time and we noticed that there are just one or two changes to the team that came to Harare and our coaches have been monitoring not only their matches but all the teams in Group B.

The Group B log shows that it’s going to be a tight competition again this year- but from our perspective it looks like Botswana are the favourites and we just have to be ready for them,” Mpandare said.
