CASTLE Lager Premier Soccer League action enters round 20 with a number of potentially exciting fixtures set for Saturday and Sunday.Inconsistent Highlanders FC, who have so far managed to collect a single point in the second half of the season following their controversial 1-1 draw against Chicken Inn last Sunday, meet unpredictable ZPC Kariba at Nyamhunga Stadium.
ZPC Kariba are in a buoyant mood following last weekenda��s 1-0 away triumph over Chapungu. Bruised Chapungu will travel to Bulawayo for a date with resurgent How Mine at Luveve Stadium.
