Zambia play their first competitive home game this year when they host Rwanda in a 2010 World/Africa Cup Group C qualifier.
Coach Herve Renard is upbeat of victory but still wary about the visitors.
“This group is a very tough one, we know it wont be easy but if we play especially at home we must beat Rwanda,” Renard said.
Zambia come into Saturdays game on a high after an impressive 1-1 away draw against Egypt on March 29 in their opening Group C game.
Renard is expected to start an almost identical line-up as the one that served him well against Egypt two months ago.
Striker Christopher Katongo from Arminia Bielefeld in Germany is favorite to start while the prospect of Collins Mbesuma making an appearance are also high.
Goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene is expected to start in goal while Felix Katongo is fit and will be key in midfield.
Victory over Rwanda who have not beaten Zambia since October 2000 will see Renard’s side go top for at least 24 hours before Algeria hosts joint leaders Egypt in Blida on Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, Zambia and Rwanda’s last meeting was in 2006 in the Cecafa Cup semifinals that Zambia under Patrick Phiri won 1-0 on their way to winning the tournament in Ethiopia.
an i shall definately be there. Just hala for highlights.
Zambia, don’t under estimate Rwanda otherwise will be in for a shock
Mulamu mwalasa
The idea is win all home matches and pick at least 5 points from away games…
HOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
rwanda is equally a good side
So far only Zambia and Algeria have odds on their favour, having secured a point each away from home. Zambia MUST get maximum 9 points from home gamez starting withe Rwanda game at all costs, then scrounge for another point or even better in just one away match. With that kind of scenario, there will be no mathematics or even “ifs” and “unless”, but just straight SA2010!
