Traditional giants Highlanders and Dynamos are set to lock horns for the second leg of the domestic league at Barbourfields stadium this Sunday.
Log leaders Highlanders FC who have lost two games in a row against Platinum and Chicken Inn will seek to bounce back to winning ways against a common rival Dynamos FC who are currently unbeaten in their last five games.
Highlanders coach Balermor Brito gave signs of positive atmosphere in the changing room and also highlighted that the recent form will not disturb upcoming Derby.
"It is difficult to prepare a team which has suffered two defeats in a row especially if the players lack fighting spirit. Despite the defeats we are still on top of the log and we hope to do well considering our assessment of every match there are signs of improvement", he said.
Dynamos currently placed at position four(4) have since collected 36 points from 21 games with 9 wins, 9 draws, lost 3games, 25 goals and only conceded 8 goals.
Highlanders despite an uneasy run still remain on top of the log with 41 points, 11 wins, 8 draws, lost 2, with 16 goals and conceded 8 goals.
Highlanders fan favourite energetic and speedy player McKinnon Mushore will be available for selection after serving a suspension but Bosso will be without Godfrey Makaruse, Darlington Mukuli and star player Devine Mhindirira.
Meanwhile elsewhere two more tricky fixtures are set to be witnessed across the country with title chasers tied at 39 points, Ngezi Platinum and Manica Diamonds clashing at Baobab stadium on Saturday.
Defending champions FC Platinum who are currently in an unfamiliar territory in the table will seek to maximise their points and close the gap, host the "green machine" Caps United at Mandava Stadium.
