ZESCO UNITED IN TITANIC CLASH AGAINST GREEN BUFFALOES

ZESCO United will today face Green Buffaloes in what is expected to be a titanic clash between 3^rd and 4^th placed teams on the MTN Super League table.

The Ndola based league giants currently have 41 points from 24 games whilst Green Buffaloes have 38 points amassed from 41 games.

ZESCO United got their oomph back following Saturday’s crucial 2-1 home victory against Nkana.

Saturday’s game against a resilient Green Buffaloes side will pose an interesting challenge for the champions who will be hoping to ride on last season’s away victory.

Club Head Coach, Numba Mumamba will be tempted to retain most the players that delivered joy to the clubs faithfuls when ZESCO United electrocuted the Wusakile Boys.

Mumamba will be buoyed by the performance of Kenyan international striker Vincent Oburu who netted his first goal for the league defending champions last Saturday.

Oburu’s performance left a certain section of ZESCO United fans salivating for more from the Kenyan who was enterprising on and off the ball.

Veteran club striker, Winston Kalengo also put in a splendid performance only to be frustrated by the upright from scoring ZESCO United’s first goal.

Mumamba will also look to Collins Sikombe’s intelligence and enterprising runs forward to ensure that the top two strikers are well supplied with ammunition.

The retain of Angolan striker, Pedro Miguel will be a huge boost for ZESCO United as they face Green Buffaloes.

Victory against Buffaloes will ensure that the league defending champions keep a close eye on the league leaders, Red Arrows.
