At Lusaka’s Nkoloma Stadium, Nkwazi football club and Red Arrows will square this Saturday in a week eight matchup.

Nkwazi, eighth on log with 10 points will aim at earning a point away from home against second-placed Red Arrows.

Nkwazi has gone five games without a victory, with their recent match ending in a 1-1 tie with Zanaco.

Speaking ahead of the match Nkwazi head coach Oswald Mutapa believes the international break helped the police sponsored side to work on their weakness.

“We played a friendly game to try and boost on the confidence of the strikers in terms of scoring rate and we scored five goals, ” he said.

Despite not winning in their previous five games, the club, according to the former Zambian international, is sure that they can gain three points away from home.

“Even though we haven’t won in the last five games, the team is doing well overall. “We apply ourselves very well, play the way we’ve trained, hopefully we can get the three points,” said Mutapa.

Depending on the outcomes of the other games, a win for Nkwazi would propel them into the top four.
