NAKONDE WELCOME NKANA
Back to the local league the super football texture takes on a fresh shape. Business in Nakonde town is expected to come to a standstill this Saturday. Newly promoted Real Nakonde host the super league giant Nkana in the two teams first meeting.Nakonde and Nkana clash in a Week 9 match of the 2017 FAZ Super League at New Nakonde Grounds.17th placed Nakonde will be looking forward to recovering from their 3-1 defeat at Nchanga Rangers in midweek games. Apparently the previous fixture saw the 12 times super league champs win an astounding 3-1 against Lumwana.
Nakonde have played eight games winning one, drawing four and losing three while scoring five goals in eight games and conceding 8 goals.
The Nkana backline led by Given Sinyangwe should watch out for Mathews Silavwe who can pose a great danger and has since scored four goals for the boarder boys.
Nkana knows the magnitude of this particular encounter and should not underrate Nakonde.
Kalampa have amassed seven points from the possible nine in the last three games.
Nkana have won three, drawn three , lost two , scored eleven and have allowed eight goals in eight games.
