Despite losing the services of key players such as Edmore Chitato and Allan Gahadzikwa, the Mighty Bulls lock horns with City who have vowed to hold their own among the premiership football.

With Highlanders supporters starved of premiership glory in recent years, Bosso will be hoping to brush aside Blue Rangers at Barbourfields stadium.

Despite not capturing big names in the offseason, the Bulawayo giants still appear to be good enough for a new look Rangers outfit and are tipped to start the new season with maximum points.

Caps United get their campaign underway by travelling to Zvishavane for an encounter with Shabanie Mine at Maglas Stadium, while 2008 league champions Monomotapa travel to Mutare for a date with Buffaloes at Sakubva stadium.
