Nkana coach Kelvin Kaindu say Sunday’s 4-0 home win over Young Green Eagles have given them confidence heading into Wednesday’s tricky trip to Nkwazi.
The defending FAZ Super Division champions beat fellow strugglers Young Eagles 4-0 at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe to collect their biggest win of the season and also ended a two-match losing run.
Nkana now face stubborn 10th placed Nkwazi who beat fourth placed Zesco United 2-1 in Ndola, and also beat the latter’s neighbours Buildcon 1-0 and held leaders Zanaco 1-1 in their away Lusaka derby.
“Tricky encounter, but I think we go into this fixture with a bit of confidence. I think we haven’t been consistent in term of play before Sunday and we also managed to keep a clean sheet which has always been our biggest problem,”Kaindu said.
“And after Sunday’s game, it gives us a bit of confidence and it’s helped reduce on the goal difference from the many goals we have been conceding and it is a plus for us.”
Twelfth placed Nkana have not won away at Nkwazi since 2016 and have collected two draws and a defeat in their last three league visits.
A rare victory at Edwin Emboela Stadium will see the defending champions move within five points of the top four on 20 points.
