AFTER suffering their second consecutive defeat, Highlanders will this weekend head to the capital to face an equally bruised Dynamos at Rufaro on Sunday.
Bosso were handed their first home defeat of the season by Herentals, a week after their 2-1 defeat to ZPC Kariba on the road.
The Bosso clash with DeMbare will headline MatchDay 14 of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
Premier Soccer League have since indicated that the game will start at 2PM, an hour earlier than usual local football kick-off time.
“This fixture is being played an hour earlier than the usual 1500hrs kick-off time so as not to inconvenience any involved players selected to depart on the same day for the FIFA International friendlies,” said acting PSL chief executive Rodwell Thabe.
He added: “We are working closely with Zifa to ensure that our programme seamlessly fits in and supports the proposed departure schedules for the national team for the international friendly matches in Morocco.”
The Warriors squad was expected to be announced today, with coach Michael Nees expected to pick some players from the local teams.
His charges will travel to Casablanca where they will face Burkina Faso on June 6 followed by a clash with Niger four days later.
The clash on Sunday, comes at a time both giants are not in good space.
DeMbare are smarting from a 2-1 away defeat to former champions Ngezi Platinum Stars.
Bosso, who dominated proceedings in the first half of their Herentals match, were caught napping just after the start of the second stanza and Ralph Kawondera pounced on an Arthur Ndlovu defensive error to punish the black and white army.
Kawondera found the back of the net in the 47th minute and his strike from inside the box helped the Students become the first team to collect maximum points at Emagumeni this season.
