Nkana captain Walter Bwalya says they must use their upcoming successive Group C home games to get their 2018/2019 CAF Confederation Cup group stage campiagn firmly back on track.
Nkana slumped to the bottom of Group C on match-day-one on Sunday night when they lost 2-0 away at Zesco United at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
The result saw Zesco take top spot in Group C while Al Hilal of Sudan are second following a 1-0 home win over Ghana giants Asante Kotoko on the same evening in Khartoum.
“We have two home games coming up and the six points is a must for us so that we can qualify to the next stage,” Bwalya said.
“We have lost today, yes, we have accepted that, but we are staying home for the next two games and they are must-win games.
“We have lost an away game but we must move forward because if we start looking back at this game it will bring us down.”
Nkana will host Al Hilal on February 13 at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe before Asante Kotoko visit on February 24.
Nkana will later make its first Group C trip into Africa to Ghana to face Asante Kotoko on March 3 in Kumasi.
