KEY PLAYERS
Jesse Jackson Were – The Kenyan talisman has proven time and again to be a significant component of the Zesco United set and last time a big match came around he came from the bench to bulldoze the team to victory.
David Owino – The defensive pillar is one of the biggest assets in terms of players at Zesco United and he will need to be at his best to stop Nkanas attacking prowess.
Lazarous Kambole – Tenant Chembo seems to have found a way to get the best out of him and he is delivering. He is enjoying his football at the moment and will give Nkana’s defence a lot of problems.
Ronald Kampamba – He does not always show up in the game but give him half a chance and ge will get you goal. By far Nkana’s most intelligent player , Landlord will have alot to say about how this one pans out. The last time Zesco visited Chilata he scored a beauty lobbying Jacob Banda.
Walter Bwalya – The 2016 super league top goalscorer is another one who can decide this match in favour of Nkana.
Diego Apanane – The Nkana left back is one of the best in league and on his day he provides alot going forward in terms of crosses for the likes of Walter Bwalya to feed off.
The Match will take place at Nkana stadium at 15:00hrs and will be live on Supersport.
