Can Tandi Mwape rival Chepeshi for the right back roleĀ 

Red Arrows captain Benedict Chepeshi has slowly been growing into the right back position at the National Team. 

Chepeshi has been Avram Grant’s preferred choice at the right back position since his arrival. 

The Airman has been putting in good performances and is looking like the favourite to start this evening. 

However TP Mazembe man Tandi Mwape could put his hand up for a place on the right side of defence. 

The former Kabwe Warriors man put in a good shift at right back during Zambia’s 3-0 win over Ivory Coast in June last year. 

It’s however dependent on what Grant will be looking for from the player who will be deployed in that position. 

Chepeshi is more versatile and attack minded could come in handy with crosses when he overlaps. He provided the assist for Patson Daka as Zambia drew 1-1 with Comoros in their final qualifier. 

Mwape on the other hand is a bit more reserved and could be used to stick to defending and maintaining the defensive shape. 

The Chipolopolo face DR Congo this evening in a Group F encounter at the Laurent Pokou at 22:00 hours (Zambian Time).
