Bruised Zanaco and Power resume league duties

Share

Zanaco and Power Dynamos return to league action on Saturday following their 2014 Barclays Cup quarterfinals exits last weekend.

FAZ Super Division leaders Zanaco will be on the road in Ndola while second placed Power are home in Kitwe.

Zanaco will be in action in a lunchtime kick off against 13th placed Indeni in a Week 24 doubleheader at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.

Indeni come into the match unbeaten at home in their last two games in which they have picked up two draws.

They host Zanaco seeking some revenge after the latter beat them 4-0 in the first leg meeting on May 17 at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka.

Zanaco on the other hand are seeking to extend their one point gap at the top of the table following their return to the summit when FAZ awarded the three points for their abandoned away match against Kabwe Warriors on September 7.

Zanaco have 47 points while Power, who host seventh placed National Assembly at Arthur Davies Stadium, have 46 points.

Power head into the match seeking its third straight league win, a result that could see them reclaim top spot if Zanaco draw at Indeni or stay put if the latter falls to their guest.

Assembly and Power finished scoreless in the first leg meeting in Lusaka last May.

Elsewhere on Saturday, third placed Zesco United host Green Eagles in a grudge match at Levy Stadium.

Eagles were the first team to beat Zesco this season in the league after shocking them 3-1 last May in Choma.

And in Saturday’s other fixtures, Green Buffaloes await Konkola Blades at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka while Kabwe Warriors host Nakambala Leopards across town at Sunset Stadium.

Warriors will play their remain home games in Lusaka at Sunset after FAZ banned them from playing in Kabwe following three abandoned games this season at Godfrey “Ucar” Chitalu Stadium.
