Faz Premier League leaders Young Arrows staying power at the top of the table will be tested further on Wednesday when they host Zanaco in their delayed Week 2 match at Nkoloma Stadium.
This match has been postponed twice already over the last 30 days.
The first time was on March 21 due to Green Buffaloes Caf Confederations Cup commitments and just last Wednesday, called off in unexplained circumstances.
Young Arrows enjoy a 2 point lead at the top of the table with 10 points from 4 games and will be hoping to stretch that to 13 in secure of a prospective win over Zanaco.
The leaders are also unbeaten from 4 league games going into their midweek match against a Zanaco team still trying to find its rhythm after Power Dynamos humiliated them 5-0 at home in Lusaka.
Young Arrows are also hoping to maintain the momentum at the summit in the month-old league season that has seen the lead change hands four times since campaign kicked off on March 15.
A win over Zanaco will be essential for Young Arrows to help keep the chasing pack at arms-length and in particular Zesco United who could join them on 10 points should the latter win away at Kabwe Warriors on the same date in a delayed Week 4 game.
Zesco’s match is one of three delayed midweek matches with the third being the Power Dynamos-Green Buffaloes match-up at Arthur Davies in Kitwe-another unplayed fixture from Week 4.
Warriors and Zesco come into this match bruised after losing 3-0 and 1-0 away to Young Arrows and Power respectively last Saturday.
The pressure is on Warriors who need to reassure their fans at home that their emphatic defeat in Lusaka at the hands of Young Arrows was a minor blip on the radar.
Power on the other hand are looking forward to record another win after ending their 2-match losing streak while their ailing guests Buffaloes know they must find a solution for their 3-match run of defeats.
Buffaloes have played 4 league games but have collected just 3 points after suffering as many successive defeats coming into their match away to Power.
The arm side can trace their last win in the league to March 15 away at Konkola Blades whom they beat 2-1 in Chililabombwe.
