Nchanga Rangers and Kabwe Warriors have been left fighting for third position as the Super League season enters the penultimate round on Saturday, 16th May 2026.
With the Super League winners and runners up already known, Nchanga, Warriors, Green Eagles and Mufulira Wanderers are the teams standing a chance to finish on number three.
Power Dynamos have defended the title and Red Arrows have secured second place.
Nchanga are on Saturday visiting Lusaka to face former champions Zanaco at Sunset Stadium.
Brave Rangers are placed third on the table with 50 points in 32 matches.
Seventh placed Zanaco, who are four points behind Nchanga, are coming from a 2-0 midweek loss to Napsa Stars.
Nchanga deputy coach Humprey Malikoni has declared Brave Rangers ready for battle against the Bankers.
“We have trained well and now focusing on winning the game against Zanaco,” Malikoni told the club media in a pre-match interview.
“We are expecting a tough match because Zanaco are coming from a loss. Our players must be focused throughout the game,” he said.
Zanaco coach Mumamba Numba said he is looking forward to the encounter against Nchanga at home in Lusaka.
At Godfrey “Ucar” Chitalu Stadium, Kabwe Warriors will be out to displace Nchanga from third place in case the Chingola side drop points at Zanaco.
Warriors will host limping Zesco United with a focus to win.
MUTONDO BATTLING FOR LIFE

Mutondo are just one points above relegation with two matches left in the season.
Mines are bottom of the 18-team league with 15 points in 31 matches.
Mutondo must beat Mines to keep their survival hopes alive.

Zambia doesn’t have coaches. Just look at how talentless latecomers South Africa has produced better coaches while we’ve been marking time. Ba FAZ any wake up plans?
