Eagles were held to a goalless draw in their CAF Confederation Cup first leg encounter against Hussein Dey and need to at least force a scoring draw this Saturday to progress to the next round.

Nkana carry an advantage heading into this match thanks to their 2-1 win in the first leg at Nkana Stadium.
Simba have an away goal that means they just need a one nil scoreline to progress but face a Nkana side that has only been defeated twice in 21 away matches and is undefeated in last 25 matches.
Simba SC fans will be hoping their Zambian import Clatous Chota Chama aka Triple C will be at his best after a less than flattering performance at Nkana Stadium. Nkana fan’s on the other hand will hope for more of the same from the likes of Harrison Chisala, Kelvin Kampamba and Ronald Kampamba.
I can’t wait to see what Green Eagles will do in Algeria after a goalless drdraw at nkoloma, mmm..
