Highlanders FC heads to Bata Stadium this Sunday desperate to turn around their recent form. The Bulawayo club faces Kwekwe United in what looks like a must-win match. Their last away victory came against Manica Diamonds, but that feels like ancient history after some disappointing results. The team drew with city rivals Chicken Inn and lost at home to newcomers MWOS. These results have left fans questioning whether the team can compete for the title.
Interim coach Try Ncube remains upbeat despite several problems plaguing his squad. Three key players are nursing injuries that could affect team selection. The goalkeeper remains sick and cannot play, leaving Ncube scrambling for alternatives. Striker Mafiyosi Chiwete and midfielder Marvin are also battling fitness issues. The coach admits his forward line has been the weakest part of the team.
Ncube believes his players can bounce back against relegation-threatened Kwekwe United. He wants the team to focus on the upcoming match rather than dwelling on past mistakes. The coach hopes his attackers can finally find their scoring touch after struggling for goals. Adding one or two new forwards could help solve the creativity problems up front. The first meeting between these teams saw Highlanders score four goals in a commanding performance.
