Chipolopolo Boys head coach Avram Grant will ring changes this afternoon as the Chipolopolo Boys look to redeem themselves after a disappointing 2-0 loss to DR Congo in their opening match at the ongoing TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN).
The ZamFoot Crew understands that Grant will make around five changes to the team that suffered a 2-0 loss to Congo.
Power Dynamos defender Dominic Chanda is expected to start this afternoon ahead of Kabaso Chongo.
In midfield Larry Bwalya is expected to make way for Fredrick ‘Kante’ Mulambia with Owen Tembo likely to start alongside him.
Upfront, NAPSA Stars Evans Kayombo Jnr is expected to start ahead of Andrew Phiri.
The Chipolopolo Boys will be hoping to turn around their fortunes in the premier tournament for Africa’s home-based national footballers which is currently underway across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The Chipolopolo meet a Palancas Negras side equally desperate for a win after losing and drawing in their first two matches.
Kenya lead Group A on four points while Morocco lies second on three points with Congo perched third on equal points with the North Africans but with an inferior goal difference. Angola and Zambia lie fourth and fifth respectively.
Kickoff is at 17h00 CAT with the match live on SuperSport (channel 227) and ZNBC TV1.
