What the coaches said:

CAPS United’s Lloyd Chitembwe: “Our next match against Highlanders will obviously be tough, very tough. They’re a big team, and we should be very organised in terms of how we play when we go there. We have had this boost and we hope we will carry ourselves well in the match.”

Highlanders’ Kelvin Kaindu: “In terms of mental strength, it is something that we are working on. We just hope and trust that we are seeing a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, we have dropped points lately, maybe it was because of the overload of the games that we played traveling to Ngezi, Manicalandand Harare but we are back home and hoping for the best.”
