Tafic and Lobatse Extension Gunners are bracing for a tough match when they meet this weekend.

Last weekend, Gunners edged Boteti Young Fighters 1-0 and Tafic also defeated Naughty Boys by the same margin.

The two sides will be facing each other in the Be Mobile Premier League encounter at the University of Botswana (UB) Stadium in Gaborone tomorrow. Gunners coach Daniel Chicco Nare says that they are expecting a tough game from Masemenyanga Boys because they are coming back with a renewed confidence. "We are expecting a tough game. We are going to be playing TAFIC with the six points they earned from their past two games with Police and Naughty Boys in mind," he said.

The last time Gunners beat Tafic was in the Coca-Cola games. "It could go either way, it is not going to be easy," he said. Nare also says that he has injury problems in his camp.

"Among the injuries, Maano Ditshupo has a broken hip and Thulani Moyo has a broken ankle," said. Equally, Tafic is also expecting a tough game from Gunners though they admit they have a renewed confidence from their past two wins against Police and Naughty Boys. Public Relations Officer (PRO) Jones Mosweu says that the players' morale has been boosted by their past two victories.

"We are expecting some positive results as the two wins have raised the momentum among the players," he says. However, Mosweu says that they know that Gunners will give them a torrid time. "We get stretched each time we play against Gunners," he said.

Tafic have eight points after last weekend's victory over Naughty Boys.
