Champions FC Platinum will have a lot to do this Saturday when they lock horns with Egyptian giants Al Ahly at Babourfields on Saturday.

The reverse fixture ended 2-0 in favour of Al Ahly and the Zvishavane based side will have a lot to prove to beat their opponents.

Platinum Boys haven’t registered a single point this season as they lost all their three games.

They lost their opening match 2-1 to Al Hilal Omdurman, 3-0 defeat at home to Etoile de Sahel and of course their defeat to Al Ahly last month.
