FC PLATINUM head coach Norman Mapeza has declared that no team will walk out of Mandava Stadium in Zvishavane with maximum points in the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season.
FC Platinum host Manica Diamonds tomorrow, a team that was a thorn in their flesh last season.
All the attention turns to whether or not Mapeza and his men can deliver on home soil against Manica Diamonds, who beat them in both fixtures last season.
Facing Manica Diamonds was a fixture in which many FC Platinum fans were left disappointed after they lost on a similar 1-0 scoreline.
Unlike last season, very few teams conquered Mapeza’s men on his own turf in domestic competition.
This time around, the former Warriors gaffer is buoyant that they will keep a spotless home record as they seek to reclaim the PSL title.
Mapeza made these remarks during a Press conference held in Zvishavane yesterday.
He said: “We are not going to let that happen this season.

“Those that will have a say in the championship race, make sure that they maximise on home games and home advantage.
“So it’s the same thing with us. If we can’t get a win, then surely it’s better to get a point.”
They drew 0-0 with Simba Bhora in their season opening encounter played at Wadzanai Stadium last weekend.
Crucially, they face a team that now boasts their former captain Rainsome Pavari and defender Lawrence Mhlanga.
Manica Diamonds will be hoping to frustrate Pure Platinum Play again and keep their winning spirit.
