Nkana’s unbeaten league run on the line

Nkana prepare to guard their unbeaten league run this season when they play a bruised Zanaco on Wednesday.

The 2013 defending league champions host the main contenders to their crown Zanaco in Wusakile in a delayed Week 5 game.

League leaders Zanaco come into the game just four days after suffering their first league defeat of the season after falling 1-0 at home to Zesco United.

Nkana on the other hand are looking to return to winning ways after they were held to a 1-1 draw by their archrivals Power Dynamos in last Saturday’s Kitwe derby at the same venue.

“This will be a very interesting match, Zanaco also want to use the match to recover from their loss and we want to pick maximum points,” Nkana coach Zeddy Saileti said.

Nkana have not won a competitive game since May 31 when they whitewashed Green Buffaloes 5-1 in Kitwe.

The defending champions have 14 points from eight games played with five games in hand while Zanaco have 29 points from 12 games played.

A win for Nkana over Zanaco will lift them from eighth to seventh position on 17 points, displacing Green Eagles who currently occupy that slot with 16 points.

  1. Ummm! This heading is misleading… Zanaco can’t beat us… We will not only beat them but destroy them also..

    • Scored 2 , missed penalty and 2 disallowed ! ie This is what happened to Nkana against Zanaco today !

  2. The headline is misleading. Nkana was beaten in Choma at the so called Independence stadium if I,m not mistaken by Eagles.

    • Yes you are mistaken ! It was 0-0 Eagles vs Nkana ! And today was Nkana 2-0 Zanaco !

  3. Malazi, Zambians don’t remember the game you are talking about. Please confirm if you watched a game different from the one which Green eagle draw 0-0 against Nkana in Choma this year
