FOLLOWING the debilitating home defeat to perennial rivals Highlanders, Dynamos will endure an 800km road trip to face bogey side Hwange in another tough Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) encounter at the Colliery Stadium on Sunday.
In the reverse fixture in March, DeMbare surrendered a 2-0 lead to end the match in a 2-2 stalemate.
Last year, The Glamour Boys emerged victorious over the coalminers at the Colliery before being held to a goalless draw at home.
It has been a roller-coaster season for the Genesis Mangombe-coached Dynamos, who have only managed five wins in 18 matches, beating Bikita Minerals, TelOne, Chegutu Pirates and Arenel Movers clubs that were promoted to the top league this year.
They also accounted for Green Fuel.
Dynamos drew nine times and lost four matches, leaving them on position six with 24 points.
After the Hwange tie, DeMbare have tricky assignments against rejuvenated Yadah FC (away), Bikita Minerals, Bulawayo Chiefs and Simba Bhora.
FC Platinum lead the pack with 38 points and are currently unstoppable as they return home at Mandava Stadium on Saturday for an explosive fixture against fellow miners Ngezi Platinum, who have stepped up their campaign, sitting on the second spot with 33 points.
