Having gone three league matches without a victory, Napsa Stars Football Club will seek maximum points when they welcome Kabwe Warriors at the REIZ Arena Stadium, this Saturday.
In a Week 31 fixture, NAPSA registered a nil-all draw away at FC MUZA in Mazabuka, their third straight league match without a win.
Reacting to the goalless draw, head coach Sipho Mumbi said
“We need to go back and improve on where we made mistakes. We are playing at home (Kabwe Warriors)— it’s a must-win game.”
Mumbi was satisfied with the point picked up away from home, describing the tie against MUZA as a tough encounter on difficult ground.
“A very difficult game at a very difficult pitch to play at. Muza will never make it easier for the opponent. I think we’ll take a point and move forward.”
Despite the draw, Napsa Stars remain 9th on the table. Mumbi refused to predict where his team will finish but stressed they are not in danger of relegation, having opened a five-point gap above the drop zone.
“Wouldn’t say exactly where we will finish but it’s not going to be in the drop zone. I think going forward, right now where we are, it’s important that if you don’t win, you don’t lose.”
