Zambia-Zimbabwe Square-up

Zambia this evening face Zimbabwe away in a friendly match at Rufaro Stadium in Harare.

The meeting will be the first between these two rivals since November 2009 when they clashed in the final of the Cosafa Senior Challenge Cup.

Zimbabwe won that match 3-1 to be crowned as regional giants to avenge their 1-0 loss in the final of the same competition in 2005.

Meanwhile, Zambia are unbeaten this year in their last three games and Dario Bonettis side comes into this Zambezi derby with three wins in a roll.

Bonetti will be banking on the rebounding striker Collins Mbesuma to inspire in attack after being in inspired form in Zambia’s last three games scoring two goals.

Missing will be midfielder Felix Katongo who is away on trials while Stopilla Sunzu returns from injury and is expected to start in defence in the 19:00 hour’s kickoff.

Both teams are using the friendly to prepare for their respective 2012 Africa Cup qualifiers coming up in September.
