HIGHLANDERS coach Mkhuphali Masuku is confident that his charges will finish the season on a high note despite dropping four points in the past two games and industrial action at the club.
Bosso played a goalless draw against Motor Action before settling for a 1-1 draw against Kiglon last weekend.
Masuku said they were going to give players who did not play this season a chance when they travel to Masvingo for their encounter against FC Victoria.
"We are going to give everyone especially those who did not play this season a chance when we play against FC Victoria," he said.
The club might rest veterans Gift Lunga, Gilbert Banda, Innocent Mapuranga and Zephaniah Ngodzo.Welcome Nkomo, Bruce Kangwa and Talbet Shumba are some of the youngsters who could be afforded game time.
Masuku said their aim is to finish the season on a high note and he was confident that the players would perform well as they would be out to prove themselves.

In their first encounter against FC Victoria at Barbourfields Stadium the match ended prematurely with Highlanders leading 1-0. Highlanders had been awarded a penalty in the 38th minute and FC Victoria coach Wilson Chinosengwa called his players off the field.
The match was stopped for about six minutes and when goalkeeper Dzingai Murinye was returning to his post his boss Nobioth Magwizi told him not to.
Highlanders have already secured their third place on the Premier Soccer League table. They are third after Dynamos and Motor Action who have tough encounters this weekend as their matches will decide the 2010 league champions.
Bantu Rovers are at home to Shooting Stars who are safe on 11th position on the log.
Another interesting fight will be between Hwange and Gunners who are both gunning for fourth place.
They are level on points but the outgoing champions have a better goal difference of 16 compared to Hwange's 12.
Hwange are away to Eagles while Gunners play Division One-bound Douglas Warriors.
