There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Triangle United leading Highlanders by 9 points.
It's no vacation for neither Triangle United nor Highlanders as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Triangle United form and stats
Triangle United have collected 18 points from their Premier Soccer League home games so far after 5-3-2. Triangle United has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Harare City defeat 103 days ago. After failing to beat Chicken Inn here at Gibbo Stadium, Triangle United has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
Triangle United's last game was hosting Highlanders and winning 2-1. A 0-0 draw away in the CAF Confederations Cup before that, with Rukinzo the opponent.
The Triangle United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. On the other hand, Triangle United have conceded 10 goals.
Highlanders form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Highlanders, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Premier Soccer League, so far with only 7 Premier Soccer League points returning home. The records show 1-4-5 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Highlanders as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Highlanders are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Highlanders, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Triangle United. A 0-1 loss hosting Harare City before that.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Highlanders as they have only managed to score 7 times from 10 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Highlanders have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Triangle United - Highlanders 2-1. Last eight meetings between the teams: Triangle United won 3, Highlanders won 3 and 2 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.Triangle United missing players
