At what might be a crucial juncture in the season, Red Arrows will face another test of their championship credentials when they visit the reigning champions Red Arrows on Saturday for their MTN Super League tie.With eight matches left, Arrows sit atop the standings, leading ZESCO United by five points, and Dynamos in fourth place, nine points behind.Arrows may eliminate Dynamos from the running and give them one less team to worry about in the latter stages of the campaign with a victory, or even a draw.
After a challenging start to the season, Arrows have won nine of their past ten league games (D1) to pull ahead of Dynamos, who are undefeated in 12 (W6 D6) but have slowed down due to too many draws. For them, it’s now or never.They might also exude confidence. In their previous 17 league visits to Dynamos, Arrows have only experienced one victory, 12 losses, and 4 draws.When ZESCO hosts md-table ZANACO on Sunday, they will be hoping for a Dynamos victory to get closer to the leaders. As their season fades, the latter have drew four of their past five games (W1).ZESCO has suffered a defeat.only one of their prior 17 games (W9 D7), but they have also suffered from an excessive number of draws, with their most recent draw coming on Thursday against Kabwe Warriors, 0-0.
However, ZANACO has lost their last four road games at ZESCO and has not triumphed there since 2015.
Even though they are eight points behind Arrows in third place, FC MUZA is still very much in the running if they can have a fantastic run till the end of the season.
They will go to Prison Leopards, who are now in second place in the league, on Sunday and hope to defeat a team that has only won five of its previous 26 games. With five straight victories, MUZA has set a club record in the premier division. They are currently on a roll. Thus, aNkana FC will look to get back to winning ways when they go to fifth-placed Nkwazi on Saturday. Nkana have managed to crawl out the relegation zone, but are only one point clear and in danger of being dumped back in there.Strangely, in their past 12 home games versus Nkana, Nkwazi has only triumphed twice (D4 L6).
In a match between two teams who are just above the relegation zone, Konkola Blades host Mutondo Stars, and NAPSA Stars welcome Forest Rangers.
Trident, who now sit at the bottom of the league and have only won twice this season, will be looking to win back-to-back games when they visit Mufulira Wanderers.
The Kabwe Warriors visit the Green Buffaloes, while the Green Eagles welcome the Kansanshi Dynamos.
