Zambia v Congo Build Up: Dominic Chanda and Sunzu to partner in central defence

Power Dynamos defender Dominic Chanda is expected to partner 2012 AFCON winner Stopila Sunzu tomorrow at the heart of defence. 

The duo is set to continue their partnership in the absence of injured Frankie Chisenga Musonda. 

Former Kabwe Warriors defender and the China based player partnered in last month’s international friendly matches and put in very good shifts. 

Sunzu with his experience will be expected to lead and guide the back four with Chanda getting to do a lot of the donkey work. 

At left back, Roderick Kabwe is expected to continue ahead of the Prison Leopards’ Zephaniah Phiri. 

Phiri was outstanding in the 3-0 win over Uganda, a match in which he made two assists and created a lot more chances. 

At Right back, Red Arrows captain Benedict Chepeshi will continue to complete the back four. 

The Chipolopolo Boys welcome Congo Brazzaville in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers tomorrow. 

Kick off at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium is set for 18h00. Tickets are currently on sale at ShopRite Stores Country wide via Computicketing from as low as K50.
