This could be an interesting match as Green Buffaloes have their presumed home advantage while Nkana are ahead 8 points in the Super League table.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Super League. That game was also an away game, at Zanaco. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
