CHAPUNGU coach John Nyikadzino has warned Highlanders to brace for a tough tie in their Castle Lager Premiership soccer match at Hartsfield. The two teams drew in their reverse tie at Ascot. “In our last encounter against them (Highlanders) we drew but as Chapungu we don’t take anything from history, that was at the beginning of the season and a lot has changed for both teams,” said Nyikadzino.
“Sunday’s game will be a different ball game altogether and anything can happen. For any coach, the last game is very important as every team would want a strong finish to the season, so we are definitely going after the maximum points.
“We will definitely be fighting because we want those three points,” he said.
Highlanders caretaker coach, Mark Mathe, says they won’t underestimate Chapungu.
“We want a dignified finish to the season, so we will be looking for nothing less than a win,” said Mathe.
“(Chapungu) are a strong team and if you look at their statistics and how they have been playing you will see that they are a strong competitor.”
