Red Arrows vs Kabwe Warriors
Nkoloma Stadium
15:00hrs
Chintu Kampamba needs a win before his house collapses and his people turn against him. Signs that the Warriors faithful won’t be so patient with their man were eminent in the 1-0 loss to Forest Rangers.If similar results continues then the opposition will be growing. Kampamba needs a response and he needs it now.
Fans close to the team keep wondering why an ancorman like Ebuka is not being played but Chintu knows best and he has shown already that he wont be told what to do. Real mantle of the coach. But time is running out and if the win keep eluding him, pressure will mount and the fans may start calling for his resisgnitiion.
Warriors away to Red Arrows were they got a point last season under Muhammad Fathy in one of the boring game of 2016. That was flat and ended 0-0.
But the Arrows we have today look different as Honor Janza looks to have brought back a system that can finally win games and compete. I don’t think Kabwe Warriors will be a match to this Arrows side this time around but then, its a game too that Chintu thinks could be a turning point. Arrows straight from away victory in Nakonde will be confident and its fans will hope they approach this game without the complacency seen in the Lumwana encounter. should they do that then they are the favourite. Kombe shouldn’t start but come in if need be, Lubinda and Festus look a good partnership upfront especially if Bruce play an upfront role, just behind the strikers. Arrows are the favourite to win this one and I think they will bag it.
My Verdict: Red Arrows 2-0 Kabwe Warriors
