The Zambia Super League is entering week 20 this afternoon as we will witness 4 derbies including the Mopani derby, log leaders Nkana will be making a short trip to Mufulira where they will be playing Maite Mufulira Wanderers.
Zesco United and Sensational Zanaco FC who were supposed to play Lumwana Radiants and Nkwazi respectively have traveled to DRC Congo and Morocco respectively for the CAF inter-club tournament, their matches have been rescheduled to Wednesday, 4th March 2020.
15:00 Mufulira Wanderers Vs Nkana
(Shinde Stadium, Mufulira – Live on SS)
==================================
Surely this is the match of the week even though Maite is struggling this season, with the difference of 29 points and the other team sitting first and the last, Mufulira Wanderers knows how to play their cards well especially when they are playing Nkana.
Dubbed as the Mopani derby due to the fact that both teams are sponsored by Mopani Copper Mines, Mufulira Wanderers managed to beat Nkana 3-2 at Nkana stadium in the first leg, Kwame Attram brace canceled Obed Masumbuko 46th minute and Idris Mbombo 48th minute goal to hand Maite a win.
This match is full of surprises but one thing is certain, there will be wild celebrations at Shinde stadium if Maite wins even though it won’t be enough to move them from the relegation zone.
15:00 Forest Rangers Vs Buildcon
(Levy Mwanawasa Stadium)
================================
Probably, this is the best season for Forest Rangers who have lost only one game in the last 10 matches and are on song to qualify for the ABSA Cup, they are sitting pretty on position 5.
While Buildcon has been struggling after a mass exodus of players. Buildcon who have lost the last two games will be hoping that they get back to winning ways.
15:00 Green Buffaloes Vs Kansanshi Dynamos
(Edwin Imboela Stadium)
====================================
The momentum is slowly dropping for Green Buffaloes who have drawn the last 3 games and one thing is certain that the team is struggling to find the back of the net despite them playing good football. They have been slipping off the log in recent weeks due to their poor run of form.
Kansanshi Dynamos have been very bad travelers in the league, they have only managed to win one away match the whole season so far, they beat Mufulira Wanderers 2-0 at Shinde stadium. They will be hoping to end their dark horse as they will be playing GBFC at Imboela stadium.
15:00 Kabwe Warriors Vs KYSA
(Godfrey Chitalu Stadium
===================================
The position on the log or form does not contribute anything in a derby. This match has always lived up to its billing, in the first Leg it ended 2-2. The town of broken hill man will be divided this afternoon.
15:00 Napsa Stars Vs Lusaka Dynamos
(Woodlands Stadium)
==================================
Lusaka Dynamos have found a new saviour in Baba Basile and they are not missing a lot from Chris Mugalu who is out. Basile is now joint top scorer with James Chamanga and Jackson Were with 10 goal.
The ABSA Cup participation looks like it is certain for Napsa Stars who have been exceptional this season, they are sitting third on the log, two points behind Nkana who are at the summit. The Tangala boys set their eyes on finishing in the Continental spot.
15:00 Nakambala Leopards Vs Green Eagles
(Nakambala Stadium)
===================================
Another derby will take center stage, the derby of the South will light up week 20 of the Super League. The Kawale boys are one point from log leaders and are currently enjoying their winning run, they have won all of their last 4 games.
Nakambala is in the drop zone with 14 points and has lost all of their last 4 games. A win will see them move close to survival.
