BULAWAYO – Highlanders will host new debutants Hwange FC at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday as they seek to consolidate their good start to the 2023 Castle Premier Soccer League soccer season.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 3 pm.
Bosso goes into the match having registered their second away win of the season by beating Yadah FC at the National Sports Stadium.
Bosso found the target through double scorer Calvin Chigonero who opened the account 70 minutes into play and added another nine minutes later.
Speaking at a weekly conference held at the Highlanders offices, technical manager Baltemar Brito said the preparations were going well and the boys are ready for the task ahead.
“The boys are ready to face Hwange FC on Sunday, but we know that Hwange is a strong team and they are currently doing well” Brito said.
Bosso has played five league matches and they are a point behind log leaders Caps United FC.
Hwange also started the season well, with their top goal scorer Brighton Makopa leading the top chart of the top goal scorers in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League after six games.
Hwange currently seats in position five with 10 points after playing six games.
The match on Sunday is lined up to be a blockbuster with the two sides having last played an official match in 2019 before Hwange was relegated to the Zifa Southern Region Soccer League Division One.
Bosso will use their new kit for the first time this season when they square off with Chipangano at eMagumeni. – highlandersfc.co.zw
