THE Castle Lager Premier Soccer League returns this weekend following a two-week break for Chibuku Super Cup action, with Matchday 25 set to deliver pivotal clashes in both the title race and the relegation battle.
During the league hiatus, Bikita Minerals, Dynamos, Manica Diamonds, MWOS, Scottland and Triangle secured their places in the Chibuku Super Cup quarter-finals, while two preliminary fixtures — ZPC Kariba vs Chicken Inn and Herentals vs Highlanders — were postponed.
Tomorrow, star-studded Scottland FC face a stern test at Rufaro Stadium against a resilient ZPC Kariba side.
Saturday features a full schedule: Ngezi Platinum Stars host Bikita Minerals at Baobab Stadium, Greenfuel welcome Herentals to Greenfuel Arena, and MWOS aim to capitalise on home advantage against defending champions Simba Bhora at Ngoni Stadium.
Chicken Inn and Manica Diamonds meet at Luveve Stadium in what promises to be a fiercely contested encounter.
Sunday’s headline fixture sees Highlanders, still struggling for consistency under interim coach Try Ncube, take on TelOne at Barbourfields.
Bosso have appointed Dutchman Hendrik Pieter de Jongh, but with his work permit still pending, he is yet to assume full control.
CAPS United host Yadah at Rufaro, Triangle face FC Platinum at Gibbo and Kwekwe United welcome Dynamos to Ascot Stadium.
The Glamour Boys are now under the guidance of former Bosso coach Kelvin Kaindu, adding extra spice to the fixture.
