Solwezi is expected to come to a standstill this Saturday as Kansanshi Dynamos host twelve-time Super League Champions, Nkana in a Week 22 clash at the Solwezi Independence Stadium.
The match has a lot at stake as Nkana is pushing for their 13th title while Kansanshi is keen on surviving relegation.
CHAMBESHI HAS A SCORE TO SETTLE
This will be the first time Nkana and their former Coach, Beston Chambeshi will cross paths after leaving the club.
Chambeshi will go head to head with his former assistant coach, Manfred Chabinga in a battle for tactical supremacy with the former having a score to settle or point to prove with Nkana fans who turned on him after Chabinga’s good run during his absence.
For Chabinga it’s a chance to prove that he is the man for the job, The Nkana top job is one that you have to constantly prove your worth for and some sections of the Nkana faithful are already losing their patience.
FORMER PLAYERS WITH A POINT To PROVE
A number of players deemed as excess by Nkana have found a new home at Independence Stadium with Kansanshi Dynamos.
Simon Bwalya, Jacob Ngulube, Yannick Mulenda, and Festus Mbewe are all former Nkana players and now on the books of Kansanshi Dynamos and may be looking to prove to Nkana that they were wrong to let them go.
THE FANS
The Independence Stadium in Solwezi has always been a place that is fully packed but with the arrival of arguably the most supported team in the country the atmosphere is expected to be very electric.
Kansanshi will have to beef up security and make sure this runs smoothly because the crowd will be very big for this encounter.
TEAMS DESPERATE TO PICK MAXIMUM POINTS
Nkana has only picked up two points in their last three games while Kansanshi has not won in their last two games.
The two teams despite being on the opposite ends of the table will be looking for maximum points as they desperately need them, Kansanshi is aiming to escape the claws of the relegation zone while Nkana is looking to maintain their top-four slot.
Whatever angle you look at this encounter it will be a game to watch and one that people should surely travel to watch as the Mabanga Boys host Kalampa in an epic encounter.
