Woodlands Showdown Awaits Zesco United

Lusaka will host three big fixtures this weekend as the Faz Premier Division enters week 9.

Two of them will take place on Saturday while the other will be on Sunday.

The biggest match of the day will be at Woodlands Stadium where Green Buffaloes hosts Zesco United.

Zesco will be under the spotlight especially after their historic qualification to the lucrative group stage of this years Caf African Champions League.

Moreover, Zesco are the only unbeaten side in the league so far and they will be feeling the pressure
As they try to enhance their recently acquired status after joining the elite league in Caf club competition.

The other big game will be across the Capital city in Chelstone where Red Arrows host leaders Zanaco at Nkoloma Stadium.

Arrows were last week ejected from the Caf Confederations Cup despite a dramatic 3-0 home win over ENPPI of Egypt at the same venue that saw the latter advance the pre-group stage 4-3 on aggregate.

Zanaco on the other hand are smarting from a shock 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Roan United on May 1.

Pride will be at stake for both sides with Arrows winless from two league games played with another seven in hand while Zanaco are looking to recover and stay in the driving seat for one month.

In the rest of the weekends fixtures, Forest Rangers host  Chambishi at Dola Hill in Ndola, Nakambala Leopards travel to Roan United and City of Lusaka visit Chililabombwe to play Konkola Blades.

Young Arrows are in Ndola where they face Zamtel at the Trade Fair Grounds and Kabwe Warriors travel to Maamba to play Choma Eagles.

Meanwhile, the third big game in the Capital will be between Lusaka  Dynamos hosts Power Dynamos on Sunday at Queensmead Stadium.
