BARBOURFIELDS is set for fireworks this afternoon as struggling giants Highlanders lock horns with relegation-haunted Yadah Stars in a battle for survival.
Bosso, fresh from a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Bikita Minerals, are hoping to make it two in a row under new Dutch gaffer Pieter De Jongh, who takes charge of his first home game.
For the Miracle Boys, the wounds are still fresh after a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to former champions Ngezi Platinum Stars last week.
With both sides staring at the chop, the tie has been billed a six-pointer that could define their season’s fate.
Bosso fans will be banking on skipper Ariel Sibanda’s leadership between the sticks and the industry of Brighton Odeogun up front, while Yadah look to the experience of Godknows Murwira’s midfield partner, Ishmael Muchaneka, to steady the ship.
The line-ups were confirmed as follows:
Highlanders: A. Sibanda (gk), M. Khoza, T. Dube, A. Ndlovu, M. Ncube, R. Sibanda, M. Sibanda, A. Mbeba, M. Mushore, N. Rauzhi, B. Odeogun.
Yadah: T. Mvula (gk), A. Makopa, A. Gwatidzo, E. Rusike, R. Ncube, I. Muchaneka, E. Chitauro, T. Chikumba, S. Masukuta, A. Dzingai, T. Vereta.
