The relegation battle in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League has reached boiling point, with teams from 16th up to 10th place all in serious danger of being dragged into the drop zone. Giants such as CAPS United and Highlanders, once seen as untouchable, now find themselves fighting for survival.
Over the weekend, CAPS United’s struggles deepened after a 2-1 defeat to Yadah FC. The result leaves the Green Machine sitting just above the relegation line, with pressure mounting on both the players and technical bench to turn their season around. Highlanders also endured a tough weekend, falling 2-0 at Barbourfields to TelOne, a result that further complicates their position in mid-table while edging them closer to danger.
Triangle FC, however, have staged a remarkable turnaround. Their 2-0 victory over FC Platinum extended their unbeaten run and crucially lifted them out of the relegation places. With confidence now flowing, Triangle have shown that consistency at this stage of the season is the difference between safety and despair.
Elsewhere, Manica Diamonds and Chicken Inn shared the spoils in a tense 0-0 draw, a result that highlights how tight the battle has become. Both sides sit level on 27 points, just inches away from the bottom three, and will know that every point gained or lost in the coming weeks could decide their PSL future.
With only a handful of games left, the fight for survival promises to be just as gripping as the title race. Fans can expect dramatic twists as these clubs battle to avoid the dreaded drop, proving once again that in the PSL, no side is ever truly safe.
