Struggling Chapungu United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Highlanders in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
