FC Platinum will be hoping to progress into the first round stage of the CAF Champions League when they host CNaPS of Madagascar at Mandava Stadium this afternoon.

Pure Platinum Play managed to score an important away goal through Farai Madhananga in the first leg which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Former Triangle United forward Lameck Nhamo is in line to make his debut for the Zvishavane side. However, central defender Kevin Moyo will miss the match after picking a knock in the Castle Challenge Cup on Sunday with Lawrence Mhlanga expected to take his place.

Rahman Kutsanzira is still unavailable for selection due to an injury sustained before the first leg.

A win by any margin or a goalless draw for the Zimbabwe champions will see them reach the first round for the first time in their history where there is a possibility of meeting C.D. Primeiro de Agosto, a team which knocked them out in the previous campaign.

Kick-off is at 3 pm.
