Green Eagles get ready to welcome Cotonsport for something different than the ordinary league football: The CAF Confederations Cup 1st Round leg 1 of 2.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Cotonsport have to travel 5100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Eagles, who played 0-0 against ZESCO United. That match was also played at this venue (Nkoloma Stadium). Heartbreak before that as Eagles lost 1-3 at Nkana's place.
