Arenel Movers vow to challenge Highlanders for top spot

Zim Now Writer

Tensions are high in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League as Arenel Movers prepare to face league leaders Highlanders in a crucial match this Sunday at Barbourfields Stadium.

Arenel Movers’ coach, Farai Tawachera, recognises the challenge his team faces but remains unfazed. “It’s a big game, but we’re not under pressure,” he declared. “We’ve seen big teams struggle at Barbourfields, and that frees us up to play our game.”

Arenel Movers will be hoping to overcome fatigue after a gruelling stretch of away matches. Injuries to captain Zibusiso Dambo and striker Toto Banda are also a concern, but Tawachera remains optimistic about their chances.

Arenel Movers come into the match on a two-game losing streak, placing them precariously at 16th on the league table. However, they are determined to cause an upset against the high-flying Highlanders.

Meanwhile, Highlanders are riding a wave of success, currently leading the championship race with 18 points. After a shaky start to the season, they have found their rhythm, stringing together several impressive victories.

Striker Lynoth Chikuhwa has been instrumental in their success, leading the league’s goal-scoring charts with five goals. He will be a key player to watch on Sunday.

Another exciting prospect for Highlanders is teenager Mvelo Khoza. This young right-back has impressed with his pinpoint crosses and defensive solidity, earning the trust of coach Kelvin Kaindu.

This encounter promises to be a thrilling affair. Arenel Movers, hungry for points, will be a determined opponent for the league leaders. Highlanders, on the other hand, will be looking to solidify their position at the top of the table.
