Scottland FC welcome Highlanders to Rufaro stadium this weekend in what promises to be an engaging Matchday 21 fixture in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League. The last time these two sides met, it was a 1-1 stalemate back in March. However, things have changed since then, with Scottland showing signs of improvement while Highlanders continue to slump.
Scottland FC have regained their footing after a brief rough patch, notably pulling off a remarkable 2-1 upset against Ngezi Platinum Stars away at Baobab Stadium last weekend. That win injected fresh confidence into the camp, and despite an earlier slip against TelOne, Scottland look a more composed and dangerous side. Their attacking duo, bolstered by recent acquisitions such as Moses Shidolo and Terrence Dzvukamanja, will be key to maintaining their resurgence. Will we see more goals from Mthokozisi Msebe this weekend?
On the other hand, Highlanders have struggled in recent weeks, with form dipping significantly since the mid-season mark. Their last five games have yielded limited points, and the side seems to lack the sharpness that once saw them vying for a top-four position. The Bulawayo giants will be desperate to rediscover their form but face a tough test away from home against a Scottland side on the rise.
Historically, one would assume that Highlanders would have the better of Scottland. Yet, with momentum on Scottland’s side, this could be the fixture where history is written.
