With a 33 percent success rate……… Bosso face tricky Ngezi

Fungai Muderere,Zimpapers Sports HubAFTER having watched their form guide take a nose dive in their most recent Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) matches, Highlanders are on a wanting 33 percent success rate ahead of their this afternoon’s clash against tricky Ngezi Platinum Stars at Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo.It is a story that is slowly turning from fears to tears in the Bosso camp, as their faithful has in the past five games watched their most loved club managing to collect a paltry five points from a possible 15.In the their last five outings, the Bulawayo football giants were edged 1-0 by Caps United after being held to a nil all home draw by Triangle.In their Week 21 tie that was played at Rufaro Stadium, the black and white army fell 2-1 to Scottland FC. This was despite after they had edged Greenfuel 1-0 at Emagumeni and played a nil all away draw against bottom placed Kwekwe United.On the other hand, the form guide points to the positive for Ngezi Platinum Stars who in their last five outings have managed to amass nine points from 15 to put them on an encouraging 60 percent success rate.The former champions were 2-1 victors over TelOne. This after they dismissed CAPS United 1-0 and played a one all stalemate against Triangle United.Before they fell 2-1 at the hands of Scottland FC, Ngezi had registered a 1-0 triumph over Greenfuel.With the league action having reached a fever pitch that coupled with the conclusion of the local football’s mid-season transfer window, it remains to be seen that Highlanders will be able to rise again, their first hurdle being presented by Takesure Chiragwi and his boys.“We are hoping to get a favourable result this time at Barbourfields Stadium.

We have been trying some combinations here and there, especially attacking combinations where we have been found wanting. In terms of creating chances we are there but in terms of our conversion rate we are slow,” said Bosso interim head coach Ty Ncube who has been in charge of six matches following the departure of Kelvin Kaindu.Ncube admitted that they have been shy at goal.“Our conversion rate has been so poor but we hope that this weekend (today), we will get it right. It will be an even playing ground, we are playing at home, we are Highlanders, and we are going to fight for the badge.

We eed the fans, they should never leave us behind,” said Ncube.It will be for the umpteenth time Bosso will be without the services of stand in captain Andrew Mbeba due to an injury and the availability of the trio Hubert Ncube, Mvelo Khoza and Darlington Khoza remained uncertain during the course of the past week and were due to pass late fitness tests.Bosso have bolstered their team by engaging Nigerian forward Benjamin Oluwarotimi Adeogun on loan from Gwanda Pirates along with midfielders Learnmore Muyambo and Martin Nhubu.In other fixtures scheduled for today, TelOne will meet Manica Diamonds at Ascot Stadium while Herentals will square it off against bottom placed Kwekwe United at Rufaro Stadium.Bikita Minerals will fight it out against CAPS United at Gibbo Stadium.-@FungaiMuderereShare on FacebookPost on XFollow usSave
