Konkola Blades vs ZANACO
Nchanga Stadium
15:00hrs
Konkola Blades will be in Chingola after efforts to move their home game to Chililabombwe failed. The visitor is Zanaco who are bubbling with confidence after beating Mufulira Wanderers in week three, 6-0. That was the biggest win of the season so far and that alone is enough to get ZANACO on a run that could make it a strong team in pursuit for the defence of the title.
ZANACO have just learnt of their CAF Champions league group and they will use as many league games as preparatory to the group stage of the Champions League. The biggest news for ZANACO is the capturing of Felix NYAENDE who is likely to feature in this encounter as they Iook to rectify the striking force which has been a challenge for some time now.
Konkola Blades will too be booed by their away performance at Woodlands Stadium against City of Lusaka. But Zanaco has quality and even when they are struggling they are able to take on Blades without much challenges.
ZANACO has been strong against Blades in the recent past, actually in the last 20 games played between the two, Konkola Blades only has three wins , Zanaco has 9 wins while 8 are draws. The last time Konkola Blades beat ZANACO in the league was in 2011 at Sunset and that game ended 3-2 in favour of Blades.
They will beat Blades again and will hope Felix Nyaende is game to get goals as Kennedy Musonda sits out due to the injury he suffered in the Mighty Mufulira Wanderers game.

My Verdict: Konkola Blades 1-2 ZANACO
