ZESCO United Football Club Team Ya Ziko
ZESCO United have been clinical in the last two games of the 2021/22 MTN Super League scoring four unanswered goals in the process.
The league defending champions baptized league promoted side Chambishi 2-0 before taming a stubborn Indeni side in the Ndola derby with a similar margin.
Tafadzwa Rusike, Edward Lungu, John Ching’andu are some of the players who have been responsible for scoring these crucial goals for Team Ya Ziko.
ZESCO United have another opportunity to stretch their winning run to three games when they face Kafue Celtic in tomorrows MTN Super League week five fixture scheduled for the Edwin Mboela stadium, Lusaka.
The nine times league champions will be without Kelvin Kampamba, Gregory Sanjase, Solomon Sakala, Dickson Chapa, and Simon Silwimba who are expected to leave tomorrow with the Zambia National team ahead of the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Equatorial Guinea.
Coach Numba Mumamba will arguably retain the services of John Chishimba, Adrian Chama, Clement Mwape and Samson Mkandawire to marshal the backline when the champions meet a motivated Celtic side.
Diminutive Zimbabwean international midfielder Tafadzwa Rusike will be expected to bring creativity in the middle of the park and provide defense splitting passes to ZESCO United’s strikers.
Edward Lungu, Thabani Kamusoko, Donashano Malama and John Chingandu will all be gunning to be on the team sheet as the champions hunt for a third consecutive league victory.
Veteran striker Winstone Kalengo doesn’t seem to be running out of gas anytime soon as such, he will be hoping to provide support to either Jesse Were, Chitiya Mususu or Enock Sakala.
Kafue Celtic on the other hand will be hoping to make life difficult for the league champions following their unexpected 0-1 victory away to Buildcon on Sunday.
ZESCO United will not underrate the league’s newly promoted side when the two teams clash in what is expected to be a David versus Goliath encounter.
