The MTN Super League will enter week 5 of action this weekend with a number of mouthwatering matches set to entertain the fans around the country. 

The Supersport Crew will be at Arthur Davies Stadium as Power Dynamos welcome NAPSA Stars in a tricky encounter.

Power Dynamos coach Mwenya Chipepo has named a strong side to face the Pensioners with Kennedy Musonda, Brian Mwila, Jacob Kaunda, and Kalonji Mwepu expected to provide the goals. 

In the creativity department, Chipepo can call on Laurent Muma, Tiki Chiluba, Godfrey Ngwenya, Fred Mulambia, and the fast-paced Joshua Mutale. 

The Pensioners are coming from a 2-1 win over Green Eagles and Head Coach Perry Mutapa believes it was a much needed win for the team as he heads to face his former team. 

Mutapa says his team has a clean bill of health. The former Orlando Pirates midfielder expects a tough tie against the Kitwe giants. 

“A very important win for us, we needed that and we needed to record our goals.

Going back to my former team, I have great memories there. It’s a team which has good supporters and a great squad so it will not be easy. Last week they were at home and they drew .But we are also looking at maintaining our momentum after a win so it won’t be easy,” he said. 

“The whole team is up for selection .Everyone trained well so we will plan according to how we want to play and according to how our opponents play. The whole team is fit and up for selection.”

When asked about whether he is conflicted going back to his former team, Power Dynamos Mutapa said he was now a pensioner and wants his side to win on Saturday.

“I think in football you make great memories with some clubs. Power dynamos is a great team with a huge fan base and I still communicate with most of the executive members, players and supporters. But when it comes to the game, it’s a different situation during those 90minutes. I am now working for NAPSA Stars and obviously I want NAPSA Stars to win,” he said.

“But I know Power also wants to win. It’s a game where friends will be divided because they have to pick on which team to support because I have friends who also support Power and those supporting NAPSA Stars.  I know some will want me to win and others will want me to lose, but at the end of the day we wait for what will happen on the field,” he added.

NAPSA Stars will bank on the likes of Jimmy Mukeya, Musonda Kapembwa, Austin Banda, Chaniza Zulu and young Bolster Siyoma. 

The Pensioners will unfortunately be without their head coach Perry Mutapa who is serving a 3 match ban.
