Zambia 1-0 Mauritius starting line up;
Standing L-R:Nathan Sinkala, Derrick Mwansa, Moses Mulambyia, Evans Musonda, Lameck Tembo, Justine Zulu.Front Row L-R: Yorum Mwila, Morgan Kaoma, Tom Bakala, Micheal Katongo & William Chibale(GK)
In the absence of the seven key players, the technical bench led by Oswald Mutapa Jr will bank on the combination of new look partnership of red hot Emmanuel Mayuka and debutant Alex Mwiche upfront to fire the junior guns to victory.
In midfield, Nathan Sinkala’s creativity will be vital while Musonda Munaile’s energy and workrate should compliment the elegant and calm, Sinkala.

Subs L-R: Chisamba Lungu, Jimmy Chisenga, Kelvin Musonda, Banda ‘Thierry’ Henry, Musonda Munaile, John Ching’andu & Noah Mwanza
Both Sinkala and Munaile looks set to be following the footsteps of their relatives; Sinkala’s elder brother Andrew Sinkala is former Chipolopolo Boys midfielder and Munaile is FAZ Vice President and former Zambia midfielder, Emmanuel Munaile’s son.
Nkwazi centreback, Derrick Mwansa will be marshalling the defence alongside Moses Mulambyia of Nchanga Rangers.
The Junior Chipolopolo won the first leg 1-0 courtesy of a Tom Bakala freekick.
Should Zambia advance, a possible date against Egypt awaits them. Egypt thrashed Zimbabwe 5-1 in the first leg.
Probable line-up.
William Chibale; Jimmy Chisenga, Derrick Mwansa, Moses Mulambyia, Jimmy Chisenga; John Ching’andu, Nathan Sinkala, Musonda Munaile, Banda ‘Thierry’ Henry; Emmanuel Mayuka, Alex Mwiche.
Subs: Kelvin Bwalya; Mwape Kalunga, Yorum Mwila, Morgan Kaoma, Boyd Chipeta, Daniel Kasongo, Morgan Kaoma.
