In the midst of World Cup fever, Zanaco are solely and slowly ghosting their way up into the top five section of the Faz Super Division table.
Zanaco are the only top-flight team in weekly throughout the leagues three-week mid season break thanks to their three games in hand coming into Week 13.
The defending champions on Saturday host former pacesetters Nchanga Rangers in their second of three unplayed games at Sunset stadium in Lusaka in a delayed week 7 game.
Last week, Zanaco beat Green Buffaloes 2-0 away in their first delayed game.
Zanaco are currently in 6th place on 18 points, nine off the pace of leaders Zesco United.
Victory over Rangers by at least three goals on Saturday will see them supplant Power Dynamos from the number three slot with a game to spare before hosting Forest Rangers next week in their final of three unplayed games.
Meanwhile, Zanaco will have to battle for crowds with World Cup fever certain to overshadow their match against Rangers.
Right under their noses next door to Sunset stadium at Barclays Sports Complex is the MTN World Cup fan park and both events will be battling for spectatorship.
This is madness, playing local games when the world cup is being played. When can players learn and get inspired by those who have qualified? Not only that the local matches will not have any people watching them because a lot of people are watching the world cup. Shame to FAZ. I am sure kalusha is just concentrating on making more money at the world cup at the moment and has forgotten about football locally
