With five rounds of league matches to go underdogs Nkwazi and Chambishi have caused a stir in recent weeks and will be targeting another big-upsets scalp on Saturday as they try enhancing their chances of staying up. Click here to view the league table
Tana will miss Nchanga Rangers match against City of Lusaka.
Police outfit Nkwazi should be ready and halt Zesco United second successive league title win. Team Ya Ziko will be without Lottie Phiri and Jonas Sakuwaha while Nkwazi coach will be banking on the exploits of Edward ‘Bubble’ Kangwa and Keagan Mumba.
Successive 1-0 victories over Kabwe Warriors and Power Dynamos have lifted Aggrey Chiyangi’s Chambishi to the dizzy heights of 11th in the table, but given the congested nature of the Premier League they are only two points above the relagation zone
Chambishi will welcome Young Arrows at home turf. Alfred Mulao will be missing influential midfielder cum centre back Whiteson Simwanza who is on international duty in Congo.
Fordson Kabole’s (pictured below with Bubble Malitoli) Power Dynamos need to refocus their aim to achieve their aspirations of continental football next season after having only collected one point from a possible six in as many games.
Dinamo will be missing the Kennedy Mudenda and skipper Francis ‘Mr Reliable’ Kasonde who are on international duty. But against struggling and rock-bottom Green Eagles, the Ndeke Boys are favourites to collect the maximum points.
The ZNS sponsored side will be missing the services of rising midfield general Kebby Hachipuka.
Bp top 8 cup Champions Lusaka Dynamos travel to Luanshya to face Roan United. The in-form Queensmead stadium will be without influential trio of William Njobvu, Josphat Nkhoma and skipper Hichani Himonde.

Elsewhere on the Copperbelt, Nkana welcome Kabwe Warriors at Nkana Stadium. The Red Devils will bank on their colourful fans as the 12th player to collect all three points against a disciplined and confident Mohammed ‘The Pharoah’ Fathy’s side who thrashed Green Eagles 4-1 in midweek.
In the peak of the weekend matches, Red Arrows will face fellow servicemen Green Buffaloes at Nkoloma Stadium. Joseph Zimba is the only absentee from an underperforming Arrows while Buffaloes is at full strength.

Thanks Zamfoot… It’s hotting up.

Awe ba Justice Kafusha. That’s my middle name. Tuli ba ku Mbala. More precisely, ku Kawimbe. We still have something in common as Northerners I suppose. Anyhow, we are all Zambians.
Good question and suggestion ba Mabbwana. Who is the leading scorer by the way? That could be a start as well as how well their team(s) is/are playing.

Just wondering. In as much as I realize that Lusaka Dynamos were playing for and won the BP Top 8 Cup, I can’t help but to wonder if they have some kind of sponsorship with BP? Their jersey colors surely do match BP colors! Just wondering.

Jacob mulenga is on fire! he scored again in their 1-0 win over vannes oc in a league2 match tonighte good 4 him maybe next season he can find himself in league1 keep it up big man.
Matafwali on Sat, 15th Nov 2008 12:28 AM
This is good news about Jacob! I hope he keeps this up. I never comment about him because the few times I had seen him play, he was not very impressive. But this is good.

Aaah!!! Jacob is at it again! Wow. This lad seems to be in his top form this time around. Way to go Jacob. I can smell a move to league 1 (or perhaps EPL) for you next season – or transfer window – (as long as you maintain that spirit). That performance should DEFINITELY transcend to our National team. Keep it up man.
Thanks ba Desie for the info.

Nice one bola panshi, Nkwazi game ended the same, a beautiful save by Nkwazi keeper to stop zega from claiming all 3 points, power again inconsistent as they drew 2 all, 10 man LD draw 1-1 in luanshya, Buffaloes fall to the poisoned red arrows, nchanga same result as above chambeshi hold young arrows 1-1 and the biggest result and the best Devilllllllll beat warriors 2-0 pa chilata to leap out of the relegation zone
