Nchanga Rangers coach Bruce Mwape has said it is key that this team wins their remaining home games to stand a chance of winning the Super Division title.
Rangers currently enjoy a five-point lead at the top of the table on 42 points from 22 matches played while eyeing their first league title in 12 years after an important 2-1 home win over defending super division champions Zanaco on Saturday at Nchanga stadium in Chingola.
The Super Division league leaders have only lost once at home this season and that was against now-faltering Zesco United who beat them 2-1 in May.
“Our biggest fear is to allow a team to beat us especially at home. we don’t want to lose any key points,” Mwape said who was former coach Fordson Kabole’s assistant when Rangers last won the Super Division table 12 years ago.
Mwape said Zesco remained a threat and said focus was key for Rangers for them to lift their first league crown since 1998.
“”For us we need to concentrate. If we relax, other teams like Zesco can still come from behind and overtake us. We have to focus on our remaining eight games,” Mwape said.
Rangers are also hoping to become the first team in recent memory to win the league just a season after being promoted.
The Chingola side returned to the Super Division this season after they were demoted at the end of the n2008 season.
Meanwhile, Rangers secured their valuable home win over Zanaco thanks to goals from Moses Mulambi and Danny Chama in the first half while Zanaco benefited from a Congo Chirwa own-goal just before half-time.
