By Auther Chimbgwa
Dynamos and Highlanders are involved in tricky battles in Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Match Day 7 clashes during the Easter holiday with Scottland also set to lock horns with FC Platinum in another potential thriller at Rufaro stadium.
Dynamos play away to surprise log leaders MWOS at Ngoni Stadium. The league debutants will be hoping to fell the fading giants to remain at the summit of the log table.
Dynamos, who have registered a single victory out of a potential six since the beginning of the campaign, have a mountain to climb against a red-hot MWOS.
Fellow league giants Highlanders, buoyed by their recent victory over premiership rivals Caps United, travel to Ngezi Platinum at Baobob stadium in Mhondoro-Ngezi for yet another test of character for the Bulawayo side.
Bosso are keen to crank up a relatively poor start to their 2025 premiership campaign and keep up with the pacesetters while Ngezi Platinum, who lie second on the league ladder, eye a quick return to the apex of the league table.
Business mogul Pedzisai Scott Sakupwanya’s Scottland lock horns with FC Platinum in another mouth-watering tie same afternoon.
The Easter holiday fixtures kick off on Saturday with a single match slated for the day.
ZPC Kariba, fresh from posting a marvellous 5-0 drubbing of newboys Kwekwe United, play away to Green Fuel at Green Fuel Arena.
The following day will witness three premiership clashes taking place, with fallen giants Caps United, positioned second from bottom, facing off against Bikita Minerals at Rufaro stadium.
The Harare side, dogged by poor form and fan unrest, have to win this one at all costs to start climbing up the ladder and restore a campaign that is crumbling way too early.
In other Easter Sunday fixtures, Manica Diamonds, smarting from a 4-1 beating last week by champions Simba Bhora, host cheeky TelOne at Sakubva stadium in another match to look forward to while bottom side, Triangle entertain the miracle boys, Yadah at Gibbo stadium.
Match Day 7 climaxes on Easter Monday with a five-match goal rush that will see league giants Dynamos and Highlanders fulfil their assignments.
Chicken Inn, fresh from beating Dynamos, will entertain Simba Bhora at Luveve stadium in Bulawayo.
Struggling Kwekwe United hope to put behind their nightmare at the hands of ZPC Kariba last weekend when they take on Herentals at Bata stadium in Gweru on the same day.
All fixtures start at 3pm.
