Their consistency has given them a commanding nine-point lead over Highlanders, who dropped many points in the opening weeks.<\/p>\n<p>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 FC 3-1 on Wednesday. The Bulawayo giants will now be aiming to build on that momentum and cut the gap on the log leaders.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Attention on Sunday will also be on Dynamos FC, who host ZPC Kariba FC at Rufaro Stadium. Dynamos have had a good start to the season and will be looking to secure maximum points to remain within reach of the top spots.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s fixtures are equally packed, with MWOS FC meeting defending champions Scottland FC at Ngoni Stadium. The clash adds another chapter to a growing rivalry between the two sides which dates back to their time in Division One.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, FC Hunters take on Triangle United FC, while Simba Bhora FC face FC Platinum in another intriguing encounter. Ngezi Platinum Stars FC will host Agama FC, as TelOne FC go up against Herentals College FC.<\/p>\n<p>In Bulawayo, Bulawayo Chiefs FC square off with Chicken Inn FC in another city derby, while Manica Diamonds FC host Hardrock FC at GreenFuel Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Fixtures:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday 25 April 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FC Hunters vs Triangle United FC \u2014 Heart Stadium<\/p>\n<p>MWOS FC vs Scottland FC \u2014 Ngoni Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Simba Bhora FC vs FC Platinum \u2014 Wadzanayi Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Ngezi Platinum Stars FC vs Agama FC \u2014 Baobab Stadium<\/p>\n<p>TelOne FC vs Herentals College FC \u2014 Ascot Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Bulawayo Chiefs FC vs Chicken Inn FC \u2014 Barbourfields Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Manica Diamonds FC vs Hardrock FC \u2014 GreenFuel Arena<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday 26 April 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Highlanders FC vs CAPS United \u2014 Barbourfields Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Dynamos FC vs ZPC Kariba FC \u2014 Rufaro Stadium<\/p>\n<p><em>*All games kick off at 3 pm CAT.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post Highlanders vs CAPS United headlines Matchday 9 as PSL announce fixture details appeared first on Soccer24.<\/p>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Highlanders #CAPS #United #headlines #Matchday #PSL #announce #fixture #details<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\/* *\/ The Castle Lager Premier Soccer League returns this weekend with Matchday 9, headlined by the blockbuster Battle of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[855,196,576,2833,10583,230,243,833,197],"class_list":["post-57061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-example-3","tag-announce","tag-caps","tag-details","tag-fixture","tag-headlines","tag-highlanders","tag-matchday","tag-psl","tag-united"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57061"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57061\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57062,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57061\/revisions\/57062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
