South African side Supersport United will this afternoon face a partisan crowd at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium when they play Zesco United in the second leg of the CAF Confederations Cup Quarter Finals.

The first leg in Pretoria played at the Lucas Moripe Stadium eight days ago ended in a rather discomforting barren draw.

Coach Eric Tinkler will look to the services of skipper Dean Furman and New Zealand forward Jeremy Brockie to deliver the desired results.

Reneilwe Letsholonyane is also likely to be key for the South Africans in Ndola. Yeye’s experience will have to manifest in a territory that has proved to be a poor hunting ground for visiting teams.

Zesco United have not lost at home in the competition so far winning all 5 home games, scoring 10 goals, conceded none and that stat is likely to be crucial for Team ya Ziko.

Coach Zlatko Krmpotic will be glad to welcome back into the fold vice captain Jackson Mwanza out due to injury.

Maybin Kalengo and Jackson could be the point men in attack with Jacob Banda set to retain the position between the sticks.

Kondwani Mtonga will be at the centre of a battle in midfield for the Ndola based side looking to go better than last season against South African opposition.

Kick off is 15:00 with the match live on pay TV channels
