Nakambala Leopards Vs Zesco United
Nakambala Stadium
15:00hrs
In the last 16 games against Nakambala , Zesco has won 9 drew 4 and lost 3. Four of the wins for Zesco were in Mazabuka with the latest being on 7th December 2014 and that one ended 4-0. David Owino scored a penalty in the 33rd minute before Kasashi Lupiya made it 2-0 in the 44th minute, Idris Mbombo who was the man of the match scored a third in the 47th minute and Cletus Chama rounded up a perfect afternoon for Zesco in the 57th minute.
In the last 16 games, ZESCO has scored a total of 26 goals against Nakambala while the Sugar boys only have 7.
Both teams won their last games in week three encounters, Nakambala Leopards beating Green Buffaloes 1-0 while Zesco beat Nchanga Rangers 4-1 at Levy Mwanawasa. Ignatius Lwipa coming from the bench to score for the sugar boys and Lazarous Kambole scoring s brace , Iddris and Jesse Were getting one each for Zesco in that encounter against Rangers.
I think Zesco is still strong for Nakambala and should be able to get three points in this encounter and lead the table before they become busy with Caf Confederation Cup.
Nakambala will do good if they get a point from Zesco but this one will be tough.
Zlat is making his good stats as a Zesco United coach so far. He has not yet lost any game he has been in charge and he would love this to continue! There is so much belief in this gram and we all know they will lose at some stage but not in this encounter.
My Verdict: Nakambala 0-3 Zesco United
