The Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Matchday 9 concludes this Sunday afternoon, headlined by the blockbuster Battle of the Cities clash between Highlanders and CAPS United.
The two giants meet at Barbourfields Stadium at 3 pm CAT.
CAPS United have been the standout side so far this season, setting the pace at the top of the table with 19 points. Their consistency has given them a commanding nine-point lead over Highlanders, who dropped many points in the opening weeks.
However, Bosso head into the encounter with renewed belief after finally registering their first win of the campaign. Highlanders came from behind to beat Chicken Inn 3-1 on Wednesday. The Bulawayo giants will now be aiming to build on that momentum and cut the gap on the log leaders.
While the Green Machine will go in as favourites based on current form, the result can go either way, considering both sides have evenly dominated each other in the past two seasons.
Also, CAPS United will be looking to break the jinx, as they have not won at Barbourfields since 2015.
What the coaches said:
Highlanders’ Benjani Mwaruwari: “CAPS United are playing well, they are leading, and it is going to be a difficult game. CAPS is a good team and we need to work hard to get the win.”
CAPS United’s Takesure Chiragwi: “The team is keen to go out there and give it their all. The guys are always hungry every day. We are fully aware of the size of the assignment.”
