Bosso won’t have it easy: Arenel

Arenel Movers coach Farai Tawachera

ARENEL Movers coach Farai Tawachera has warned Highlanders that they face a tough fight for three points when the two sides clash in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.

Tawachera said his boys are free of the pressure that suffocates big clubs when they face Bosso at BF.

“It is a big game considering we are playing the big brother of the region. It is not going to be an easy game for us, neither is it going to be easy for them. We want to go there and express ourselves and exhibit what we can do. We are not under any pressure at all. There is nothing new about losing to Highlanders. We have seen big teams losing to Highlanders at BF and that makes us go out with no pressure but a free mind to express ourselves,” Tawachera said.

He hoped his boys would have recovered from fatigue after travelling more than 3 000km by road to fulfil the last three matches.

They are monitoring captain Zibusiso Dambo and striker Toto Banda who are recovering from injuries.

Arenel lost their last two matches to Manica Diamonds and Green Fuel and sit on position 16 on the log table with eight points from one win and five draws.

They have lost three matches going into the 10th game of the season.

They face Highlanders who lead the championship race with 18 points from five wins, three draws and one defeat.

After losing to Chicken Inn at BF and a draw to Herentals in Harare, Highlanders dispatched Caps United at home and are away to Arenel who have given big clubs a headache.

Highlanders’ top striker Lynoth Chikuhwa has scored five goals to date and leads on the scorers’ charts.

They will be looking up to him to provide the goals upfront.

Highlanders have unearthed an enterprising right-back in teenager Mvelo Khoza, who is blessed with brilliant crosses.

Khoza (18) impressed when he came in for an ineffective Brian Mlotshwa in Bosso’s loss to Chicken Inn and impressed.

He has not looked back with coach Kelvin Kaindu putting his trust in the youthful defender.
