FIGHT FOR RELEGATION HOTS UP AS MUFULIRA WANDERERES SACK SILVA PAULO JORGE
The fight for the title looks much easier than what is happening at the bottom of the table with teams fighting for points to survive. One team that will look at in this post is one of the olden teams of Zambian football.
MUFULIRA WANDERERS
Dropped into the relegation zone after the 4-0 beating by league Leaders ZANACO and that meant Lumwana Radiants, leapfrogged the Mufulira giants and leave them on 6 points same with Green Eagles who are just out of the relegation zone on goal difference with Mufulira Wanderers.
THE RUN IN OF MUFULIRA WANDERERS
Big games for Mufulira Wanderers to survive and more drop of points will mean more danger, there are in the fight with Lusaka Dynamos, and Lusaka Tigers for now as Mufulira Blackpool looks like they are done and dusted.
Mufulira Wanderers meets Lusaka Dynamos in the next fixture and this is the real battle for survival. Whichever team that will win that game will leapfrog the other and depending of the results from Nkwazi and Lumwana Radiants in their respective games will matter.
NAPSA and Forest Rangers are also in danger should they lose their games and could go close to relegation.
FIXTURE LINE
- Mufulira Wanderers Vs Lusaka Dynamos
- Green Buffaloes Vs Mufulira Wanderers
- Mufulira Wanderers Vs Nkana
- Power Dynamos Vs Mufulira Wanderers
- Nakambala Leopards Vs Mufulira Wanderers
- Mufulira Wanderers Vs Lumwana Radiants
- NAPSA Stars Vs Mufulira Wanderers
- Mufulira Wanderers Vs Zesco United
- Red Arrows Vs Mufulira Wanderers
*******************************
Under the new technical bench the team has to find ways of getting points in the nine fixtures as Silva Jorge gives way.
MY VIEW
Mufulira Wanderers to survive are to get maximum points from Lusaka Dynamos and Lumwana Radiants and these games will be played at Shinde Stadium. If Mufulira Wanderers drop points in those games then Mufulira Wanderers will be on their way to ZONE ONE of Division One football.
If they manage to get the six points in those games then they would be sure of 32 points and any other draws they get from Red Arrows, NAPSA, ZESCO, Nakambala Leopards, Power Dynamos, Nkana and Green Buffaloes
MY THOUGHTS: The survival of Mufulira Wanderers lies on beating Lusaka Dynamos. If they beat Lusaka Dynamos then they will survive, if they drop any points in Week 26 then they will be relegated.
