FOREST Rangers coach Mwenya Chipepo has said his side is prepared to collect three points against former employers Power Dynamos when the two teams meet at the weekend.
Chipepo who recently joined Forest from Power finds himself facing his former bosses, although it is unclear if he will sit on the bench as his clearance has not yet been issued.
Last week, Chipepo sat in the stands for what would have been his first game for Forest Rangers when they played to a 1 – all draw against Konkola Blades in Chililabomwe.
Looking to this weekend’s encounter, Chipepo has said his charges are prepared.
“We are going to play Power Dynamos,” Chipepo said, “they have good players at the moment they are playing very well but if I look at the way we have prepared here, we are prepared to get three points against Power Dynamos.”
Power and Forest are separated by six points. The Kitwe side sits sixth with 21 points.
Chipepo who guided Power to the title last season said he has a fairly good understanding of how his former side plays.
“I know the way they play, I know the type of players who are there and we have planned very well for them,” he said.
On the emotion of playing his former team, Chipepo said, “I just have to control myself they are still my family and I have come to make another family here so it is just a matter of playing a game and make ourselves happy.”
