Three goals down from the first leg against Warri Wolves, Zesco United are looking likely to summon the 12th man of Kitwe.
According to sources, Zesco could host Warri Wolves at Arthur Davies stadium in Kitwe on April 3 if the re-laid turf at their Trade Fair home ground is not ready to be played on.
Wolves carry a 3-0 home lead in the first leg of the two sides CAF Confederations Cup first round, first leg match.
Zesco need to score four unanswered goals to avoid an early exit but a 3-0 home win will force the match into post-match penalties to decide which side goes through to the second round.
Meanwhile, if it is the power of the 12th man Zesco are looking for, Arthur Davies is the right venue to try and get the energy behind them to try and generate the four unanswered goals.
As any big team from Lusaka playing Power Dynamos at a packed and Arthur Davies will testify, the venue can generate an intimidating and electrifying atmosphere on a big match day.
The high steep stands and very close proximity the fans are to the touchline brings some intimacy between the crowds and the players.
And Zesco will not have to wait for long to feel Arthur Davies.
This Sunday they visit Power in a Week 3 match that will also be Zesco’s first league match of the season.
