Bosso desperate to bounce back

After a 0-0 league draw at home to Buffaloes which was followed up by a 4-1 thumping at the hands of Dynamos in the TM Pick n Pay Challenge Cup final, a result bettered by the 3-1 Chibuku Super Cup quarter-final triumph over How Mine last week, Highlanders will be desperate to bounce back when they travel to Harare City.

Bosso's cause has been made a little difficult as they have two key players Dumisani Ndlovu and Simon Munawa suspended for the match.

The good news for the Kelvin Kaindu-coached side, however, is that Pascal Manhanga, who has been one of the team's best players in recent weeks, is back from suspension and should give City some problems this afternoon, together with new boys Tapiwa Dephistara and Webster Chingodza.

The reverse fixture went in the way of Highlanders, who won 1-0, and City coach Masimba Dinyero, who is yet to lose at home in four attempts since taking over, said he was looking to avenge that result.

Harare City have been affected by suspension too with Benson Maglasi set to miss the game.

Highlanders cannot just afford to lose this one. If ZPC Kariba and Caps United win, a loss would leave Bosso in fourth position on the log and possibly six points adrift of Dynamos, which could be a telling difference at this stage of the season.
