Zambia appears set for Sunday’s African Nations Championship (CHAN) quarter-final clash against Guinea set for Umuganda Stadium in Rubavu.
The game kicks off at 18h00.
Zambia held their pre-match training on Saturday afternoon in the presence of FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya and took time to practice penalties.
Members of the Zambian camp have been speaking ahead of the match against Guinea.
Coach George Lwandamina believes there should not be room for errors when Zambia and Guinea clash at Umuganda.
“The mood in camp is overwhelming. Players are focused and they know the importance of this game. It’s only one game for you to excel or go home,” Lwandamina said.
Captain Christopher Katongo said players are ready for the encounter.
“Players are looking forward to this challenge and the confidence is high as we have played three games without conceding goals,” Katongo said.
Experienced midfielder Isaac Chansa is predicting a tough match against Guinea who beat Nigeria 1-0 in their final group phase game.
“It is a very important match for us and we know it will be tough. Of course they beat Nigeria but we don’t have to fear them,” Chansa noted.
Keeper Jacob Banda who has kept a clean sheet so far at CHAN is upbeat about the looming match.
“For us to keep a clean sheet we have been working together.I think the game will be tough so we have to remain focused and be determined to win.”
Guinea beat Zambia 2-1 in the two teams first and last meeting which came at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations.
Tough is an underestimation.
