Salzburg is third in Group E with three points from three games while their opponents Napoli lead the group with seven points.
Kick-off for the match is set at 22:00 hrs central African time.
These boys are surely doing us proud. Also with the confirmation that Edward Tiger Chilufya will be playing champions league next year also bolsters the chance that we now have players capable of making us watch a Zambian players in the champions league every season….I honestly don’t think it is far fetched to think like that. I expect some serious offers for either of these boys in the January window but then again it changes the dynamic…..If lets say English clubs like Everton buy Patson, he will be in a big club in one of the biggest leagues in the world but then we will not watch him in the Champions league because that club is not a top four club in England.
