Saturday Football Preview

Share

The Faz Premier League resumes this weekend at the end of the 21-days of national mourning for late president Levy Mwanawasa that came to an end of September 9.

The highlight of this weekends return to football action will see the roll-out of the SuperSport Satellite TV coverage of the Zambia top-light with the package kicking off with a doubleheader at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.

The doubleheader will see leaders and defending champions Zesco United  take on record 11-time league champions Nkana in a 13:00 kickoff.

Hosts Konkola Blades will also be at home and they will face their near-rivals Nchanga Rangers from down the road in Chingola.

Zesco will be looking for another good result against 12th placed Nkana whom they beat 2-0 in the first leg played on April 26.

However, Nkana will be hoping their red-hot DR Congo born striker Patrick kabamba will be on fire to try and help his side get the 3 points in their battle against a quick return to division following their promotion this season.

Meanwhile, in the weekends other Week 22 games, 2nd placed Red Arrows are away to 4th from bottom Green Eagles, Young Arrows host Power Dynamos while Green Buffaloes visit City of Lusaka at Woodlands.

Kabwe Warriors travel to Lusaka Dynamos, Chambishi host Zanaco and Roan United take on Nkwazi at Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya.

Elsewhere, the Zambia Under-17 team on Saturday take on Namibia in an Algeria 2009 Africa Under-17 Cup 1st round, return leg clash in Windhoek.

The two sides are level at 0-0 from the 1st leg played in Lusaka last Saturday.

Winner of this mach will played either South Africa or Malawi in the 2nd and final qualifying stage in November for a place at next years finals in Algeria.

Malawi enjoy a 1-0 away win from the 1st leg played a fortnight ago in South Africa.

    Namibia pulled off a stunning win on penalties against Zambia in an African U17 football qualifier at a packed Khomasdal Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
    Namibia rose to the occasion with a committed performance and had to dig deep when captain Osvaldo Xamseb was sent off after 60 minutes after picking up a second yellow card. But Namibia defended superbly to take the match into penalties where keeper Collin Ndjai first pulled off a great save before Zambia’s Patson Kaimana hit the post to give Namibia a 4-2 victory(Namibia Sports.com)
