An important duel in the bottom section of the Super League, with both Nkana and Indeni experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 13th place.

Insights:
  • Nkana have the most conceded goals (33) in Super League
  • Indeni have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a CAF Confederations Cup match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Pyramids FC, was also a home game here at Nkana Stadium. The away team is better rested.
