“This is a huge test for us to see how far we have progressed as a team and we are ready to give them a game that they won’t forget,” said a confident Mzinza.
He added that he expects an exciting match saying the game will act as a test for his youthful side.
“It’s a huge honour for us to have reached this far in the competition especially now as we will be facing one of the elite clubs in the country and we believe we can cause an upset once more,” he said.
When asked on his tactical approach to the match considering that Bullets are chasing a league and cup double, Mzinza said he expects Bullets to come hard at them but was quick to say they are ready for the onslaught.
Currently, Chitipa United sit top of the NRFA SIMSO Premier League with 79 points from 33 matches and have a lead of 13 points over their nearest rivals Bolero and require 5 more points to regain their Super league status.
