CHICKEN INN captain, Xolani Ndlovu reckons that it will be a  big fight when they play Highlanders in their Week 7 fixture at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday. 

The Bulawayo derby is expected to draw a huge crowd at Emagumeni. Bosso are currently in top form and they are yet to taste defeat after six rounds of play. 

“It’s not going to be an easy game. I think we have found our rhythm. It’s a derby match, but we are not under pressure. Highlanders are the ones on top of the log, which means pressure is on them,” said Ndlovu. 

The Gamecocks are coming from a 2-0 home triumph over Greenfuel.

Even Chicken Inn coach Joey Antipas believes they will do well. 

“It’s a big game. It’s going to be a big fight. We are getting ready. Everyone is training fine. 

“We need to go and pick up points,” said Antipas. In Bosso, Chicken Inn face a difficult side that is equally high on confidence following their one-all draw against champions Ngezi Platinum Stars. 

Bosso are in a rich vein of  form, which Antipas has vowed to stop.
