Nkana visit ‘Brave’ Nchanga Rangers on Saturday looking to end a very frustrating winless streak against their opponents in this Copperbelt derby to be played at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola.
The Kitwe giants are basking in some glory of late perched in 5th place on 29 points and seven off the pace of leaders Red Arrows after 18 games played.
However Nkana have one big problem, have yet to beat Nchanga in over 9 years.
It is hard to believe that Nkana have not won against Nchanga since 2002 when they beat the Chingola side 1-0 in Kitwe.
Not even in 2009 when the two teams were in Division 1 North did Nkana manage to beat their hosts this weekend and could only conjure scoreless results both at home and away.
Nchanga are still favorites again and unlike Nkana are unbeaten since they returned from the two-week midseason break with two wins and as many draws but are still down in 11th place with 21 points.
Nkana on the other hand have claimed the scalps of Power Dynamos and Nakambala Leoaprds on their recent match into the top five.
Victory away at Nchanga this weekend will give the record 11-time champions a strong claim in the battle for a top two position with 10 games remaining at the end of this weekend’s fixtures.
