The log leaders welcome in form Lusaka Dynamos who are unbeaten in their last four games.
The Airmen will be without Captain Benedict Chepeshi, Prosper Chiluya and Charles Kalumba who are out with the national team in Iraqi. The Airmen will also be without left back Kebson Kamanga who is out injured.
On a positive note, Head coach Chisi Mbewe finally returned from his CAF A coaching license course in Tanzania although he is unlikely to take charge of the team.
Lusaka will be aiming to collect maximum points as they move closer to moving out of the relegation zone.
Ricky Banda, Joseph Phiri, James Chamanga and Twiza Chaibela are expected to lead the Arrows attack with Alassane Diarra pulling strings in midfield.
Mathews Phiri also has the likes of Ahmed Mumba, Godfrey Binga and Harry Kayula to call upon for goals.
Kansanshi Dynamos vs Green Eagles
The Mabanga Boys welcomes the Kawale Boys this afternoon at the Solwezi Independence Stadium in what is expected to be a tricky affair.
Green Eagles who are enjoying some good form with only one loss in their last 19 games will be aiming to leapfrogg ZESCO United into second place with a win.
Kansanshi Dynamos on the other hand are not a push over and since the arrival Boyd Mulwanda they have been a completely different side and are unbeaten in seven.
A win for the Mabanga Boys will be their first against Aggrey Chiyangi’s men and will take them just outside the top four and closer to their continental dream.
Jesse Were will play a big role for Kansanshi as they will look up to him for goals.
Green Eagles will be without Derrick Bulaya but the likes of Enerst Mbewe, Hosea Silwimba and Emmanuel Mwaba may just rise to the party.
Chambishi vs Buildcon
Team Kopala, Buildcon have top four in their sights as they travel to Chambishi this afternoon.
