The two Chanda’s to marshall Zambia’s defense

…..As the back four picks itself 

Power Dynamos defensive pillar Dominic Chanda and Estonia based Ricky Chanda are expected to start in the heart of defense, the ZamFoot Crew understands. 

The duo started in the opening two matchdays, the 3-1 away loss to Algeria and the 2-0 home win over Togo.

Coach George ‘Chicken’ Lwandamina is expected to continue with the two ‘Chandas’ in front of Willard Mwanza who is likely to start between the sticks. 

FC Slovan Liberec’s David Hamansenya is expected to continue at left back after impressing against Togo. 

At right back, Lwandamina is expected to again keep faith in former Bauleni United Sports Academy ( BUSA) product, Mathews Banda who assisted Eliya Mandanji’s goal in the 2-0 win over Togo. 

Zephaniah Phiri, Owen Mwamba, Tinkler Sinkala, William Kamwanga and Gift Mphande are all available for selection. 

The Chipolopolo will today lock horns with Burundi in a crucial Matchday Three fixture of the 2027 Pamoja Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.

Kick-off is set for 15:00 hours.
