Nkana FC will be looking to make a record 7th consecutive league win since their return to the top flight when they step on to the pitch on Sunday to take on Lusaka Tigers.
Nkana are on their best run of form since the 2008 a season when they managed to put up a 5 match winning streak in one season and they will match that record if they beat Lusaka Tigers who they play at Independence stadium this weekend.
Interesting enough, the Kitwe giants have not lost in the past 6 matches going back to last season when they ended the league on a high with a 3 – 0 and 2 – 0 win over Mufulira Wanderers and Nchanga Rangers respectively a record which has not been matched since their return to the elite league in 2008.
Should Nkana win at Independence stadium, they will match Zanaco’s 7 game winning record which they managed in the 2014 season which has not been matched in the last decade.
In Saturday’s game they face a newly promoted Tigers side which has won both games at home and managed a draw against Green Buffaloes who they share the home venue with.
However, with scoring prowess shown by the Aggrey Chiyangi coached team, Tigers will have to be strong to survive the on-slaught from the Nkana attackers led by attacking midfielder Jacob Ngulube.

Things may change very soon when Nkana starts to meet formidable teams in the ZPL. It’s just one of those false starts I guess. However having said this, all the best to Nkana.
@ Billy you can only beat what is in front of you….formidable or not nkana are doing the job very well
Which formidable teams are you talking about
Nkana has got a team to with stand rhe pressure from these big teams. Otherwisw teams like buffaos will fall.
All the best ba Nkana. We can see the seriousness in the team, this is just Friday, the team has shifted it’s camp base to Lusaka for a game to be played on Sunday.
I’m just watching from the terraces.
Don’t get too excited its jst the begining we r comin rite behind ya. #Mighty the legendary, the fighters.
LET US WAIT AND SEE:
It may be a flash in the pan and of course just the beginning, But what does this do to their morale???
I am a Kabwe Warriors fan, but can’t fail to admire the way Nkana have started this season, and Aggrey has made a very formidable side, anyone can be proud of.
Those against the reds will be disappointed ask the so called big teams in England where are they on the log? What more with the quality of kalampa in zed league bcoz it is also a big team. Bembas say “akabangilile kanwine aya lengana” meaning the first to do better, will achieve best results.Zesco will fall this time. No team in Zed league can claim to be bigger than Nkana unless some have started watching Zed league today.tigers is next.. Ingena bayangana!!!go reds go!!!
Am a Zesco Fan but am happy with the way Kalampa have started this season. As to wether they can hold on to their top slot on the log table, that’s a question only Zega THE CHAMPIONS can answer. For now, Nkana fans celebrate as you warm the top slot for ZEGA MAMBO, Wapya Ba Zimandola baleisa!!!!
Devil Kalampa am sooooooo disappointed with all those bloggers shocked about this start anyway you those
Who have just come of age with zed football please at least Google before you say something which will make you,for a luck of better word,stupid if not idiotic.
Nkana not jst winning ama fluke but bola ileanda-good passing ball,we are winning th league,for Zesco its time th bad run ended..kalampa
The twelve time champs are back in style .Lusaka tiger fill the terrace if you are a big team too.
Am very envious of what our neighbours are doing….it’s so good that you can’t turn a blind eye….they really did their homework in preseason & now they are reaping!
Any update on the Nkana Game please?
