Napsa vs Nkana
Heroes Stadium
13:00hrs
This is an interesting one as it may see Nkana go three games without a win in the league while Napsa is in a hurry to get back to winning ways after losing at the death of the game in Kitwe against Power Dynamps .

NAPSA look good and ready to fight this season yet Nkana after a very good promise during Charity Shield looks like a team that is not ready for the fight. I dont want to believe that Nkana is Walter Bwalya because there are good players in that team that are able to replace Walter.
This will be a tough one! Tenant Chilumba has assembled a very good team at NAPSA and I don’t think Nkana can run them over. Napsa too has very good head to head record against Nkana as already in the last 10 games, Napsa has 5 wins while Nkana has 3 the other 2 are draws.
Napsa though have to improve in converting their chances because that is surely the biggest weakness that the team has .

For Nkana, in the absence of Walter, Ronald Kampamba has not yet ticked and he needs to receive better services from the midfield if they are to get back to winning ways.

Ronald Kampamba can be the difference in this encounter as I think he still have that talent that can unlock the defense of Napsa especially that Napsa may think they have this one in their bag.

This is a good test for both teams and analysing the poor finishing of Napsa and the poor distribution of the ball in the midfield for Nkana , this looks to be another draw.

My Verdict: Napsa 0-1 Nkana
