Nkana face a difficult test on Saturday in their bid to halt a two-match winless streak when they visit Faz Super Division leaders and unbeaten Zesco United in a Week 11 match in Ndola.
Nkana travel to Zesco on the back of a dramatic 2-1 home loss to archrivals Power Dynamos last Saturday.
This weekends’ match is part of a line-up of difficult matches awaiting Nkana who following the game against Zesco when visit Kabwe Warriors next week before hosting fellow promoted side National Assembly in Week 13 and later traveling to Green Buffaloes in Week 14.
Zesco meanwhile are the only unbeaten side in the league on 19 points from 10 games.
They come into this weekends’ match having survived a late comeback from defending Super Division champions Zanaco who rally from 2-0 to finish 2-2 at home against the leaders in the two sides’ rescheduled Week 1 match played on Wednesday in Lusaka.
Both Zesco and Nkana will feel little impact from CHAN commitments should have full squads available for them.
However, Zesco will be without goalkeeper Jacob Banda who is on CHAN duty with Zambia in South Africa.
And in the rest of the weekends, Nchanga Rangers visit Warriors, Buffaloes host Lusaka Dynamos, Power Dynamos are home against Forest Rangers, while Zanaco take on City of Lusaka at Sunset stadium.
In Chililabombwe, Konkola Blades host Nkwazi, Assembly take on visitors Red Arrows at Woodlands in Lusaka while Roan United travel to Maamba to face Choma Eagles.

Zesco will come out victorious. Nkana are in trouble here coz Zega is playing well.

My Brave Rangerz shud not carry the home loss to Zesco to the Railway Ground, but endeavour to collect good rezults away from home.

No. 4, I agree with you. The author is probably a diehard Nkana supporter.
Zega kwisa? A problem nama fontini yaku Ndola, Kalampa has held Zega to a 0-0 draw in their own backyard. Let them come ku chilata. Tukabanaya!
Why do these guys take so long to give us the soccer results in Zed? But pa Ndola pa ma fontini sana.
