CLPSL Preview: Highlanders, Chicken Inn clash in derby encounter

The mid-week action wraps up this afternoon with a potentially explosive Bulawayo Derby pitting Highlanders and Chicken Inn.

The encounter is scheduled for Barbourfields Stadium.

The Gamecocks have been enjoying good form and will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run to eight games. Bosso, on the other hand, have not lost a match in their last three and will be hoping to build from that.

With 15 meetings between the two sides, the visiting team have dominated the hosts, earning six wins whileTshilamoya have two. Highlanders’ recent victory came in the second leg of last campaign when they cruised to a 4-0 triumph.

There are no suspensions from either side.

Bosso defender Peter Muduhwa is available for selection after missing the previous round, but striker Tinashe Makanda is out following a groin injury on Saturday.

Meanwhile, four points separate the two team on the log with the home team, Bosso, on 5th place while the Gamecocks are sitting above in third.

In another match set for today, CAPS United welcome Triangle United at Rufaro Stadium.

United are high in spirit after ending their three-game losing streak last weekend by beating Yadah.

The Green Machine dropped points but are yet to concede a defeat since Match-day 15.
