Zesco United this evening take in Horoya AC of Guinea the CAF Champions League first round second leg to be played in Conakry, Guinea.
The Zambian champions arrived in Guinea on Friday without head coach George Lwandamina who remained in Ndola to drill the national team.
Assistant Tenant Chembo takes charge in the dug-out.
Zesco carry a comfortable 4 – 1 lead into the second leg after overwhelming the West African with some sleaky football which saw Idriss Mbombo, Jesse Were, Clatous Chama and Maybin Mwaba score.
Horoya however have turned their home ground into a fortress and will be a difficulty opponent to play as they have only lost once at home in the last 12 months having played 17 games in all competitions.
Zesco are generally poor travelers having onli won once in the last 5 games in the competition but they seemed to have turned the corner this year as they were 1 – 0 victors away against Al Ghazal in South Sudan in the preliminary round.
Zesco do not necessary have to win the match to progress in the competition but they have enough ammunition in their bag to win and to ultimately reach the group stages this season.
Chembo is expected to name an unchanged XI for the game.
The game kicks off at 1900hrs CAT.
Zesco probable XI
Jacob Banda – Simon Silwimba, Ben Adama Bahn, Dauti Musekwa, David Owino, Anthony Agay, Clatous Chama, Misheck Chaila, Idriss Mbombo, Jesse Were, John Chnganduh
