Egyptian giants Al Ahly have arrived in the country ahead of this Saturday’s CAF Champions League tie against Group leaders Zanaco.
The richest club on the continent arrived in Lusaka around mid-day and went straight to Hotel Intercontinental where they are booked.
They will be facing a Zanaco which has gone 12 games unbeaten in all competitions.
While Zanaco snatched a late goal in Cameroon against Coton Sport on match day 4, the Cairo side suffered a defeat in Morocco to Wydad Athletic Club.
Zanaco will be without Ziyo Tembo after he accumulated two yellow cards.
Augustine Mulenga and Chongo Chirwa who were sent off on Sunday in a league against Kabwe Warriors are both expected to start.
A draw will be enough for Zanaco to advance to the quarter finals.
