It's the first game of the new season for 1º de Agosto and ZESCO United. The canvas is blank, the possibilities endless.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
ZESCO United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
