It's early days in the Super League and both Kitwe United and Nkwazi are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Kitwe nor Nkwazi as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
