HIGHLANDERS must beat FC Platinum at Barbourfields Stadium on Wednesday to take the Premier League title to the final match of the season.
Dynamos, with a two-point advantage at the top going into the penultimate match, play Buffaloes at Rufaro knowing that they can afford to draw and still stay ahead thanks to a superior goal difference.
Highlanders - beaten just once this season - need to complete a double over Platinum to take the race to the wire.
They beat Platinum, then under Rahman Gumbo, 3-1 at Mandava in the reverse fixture.
Highlanders will be without suspended skipper Innocent Mapuranga, while Dynamos will be robbed of the services of Cliff Sekete who also serves out a one match suspension.
Wednesday's fixtures may decide who wins the league title, but they also have huge implications in the relegation battle.
