BRUISED Highlanders will seek to rediscover their winning formula when they play host to sporadic Hwange at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.
Bosso, who have been hit by massive Castle Lager Premier Soccer League fines owing to crowd trouble, are smarting from a 3-0 defeat at the hands of in-form army side Black Rhinos.
Hwange are placed third from the bottom and they invade Emagumeni seeking victory.
"We are in a rebuilding exercise. I'm glad my boys have been doing well at training. We are looking forward to the game against Highlanders and we are going to give all what we have," said Hwange head coach Nation Dube.
On Saturday, the Mandla "Lulu" Mpofu-mentored Bulawayo City entertain Yadah FC at Emagumeni. City were on Wednesday handed a 1-0 defeat by Chapungu in a match that was played at Ascot Stadium.
Chapungu are set to face former champions Dynamos in their Week 14 tie. Bottom placed and winless Tsholotsho will welcome buoyant Chicken Inn who are coming from a 2-0 triumph over ZPC Kariba. Meanwhile, the game between CAPS United and How Mine has been postponed.
The Green Machine, representing Zimbabwe in the prestigious Caf Champions League, have a lot of catch-up to do in the championship as they have still to play four more games to be at par with other teams.
With an upcoming African Champions League trip to Tunisia next week for a clash against Al Ahly Tripoli of Libya, who are playing their home matches in Tunis owing to violence in their country, a victory against How Mine was going to be a morale booster ahead of that assignment.
