For Zambia, Mutapa will be without two key players.
Captain Prince Mumba and Jimmy Mukeya, scorer of two goals on match day 1 have been ruled out due to injuries.
The duo are expected to recover for the knockout stage matches.
In goal, Green Buffaloes understudy goalkeeper Prince Bwalya will continue.
Young Nkana Justin Mwanza and Zesco United’s John Chishimba will be at right and left full back respectively.
In central defence, Mutapa will continue with the partnership of Crawford Mwaba and Golden Mafweta.
Mwaba, who has a goal to his name already is on the books of MUZA while Mafweta was signed by Zanaco from Happy Hearts .
Not many players can be compared to the legendary Jack ‘Bomber’ Chanda but a Young Nkana midfielder Patrick Gondwe is already earning rave views.
Gondwe will feature in a midfield trinity alongside Muma Mumba and the hardworking Chanda Mukuka.
With Mumba and Mukeya out, Jonathan ‘Mbombo’ Munalulua and Golden ‘Kalaba’ Mashata will support Francisco Mwepu upfront.
