AFTER a one-week break which saw players turning up for their respective national teams, the MTN/FAZ Super League returns with the league leaders Prison Leopards visiting Lusaka to hunt Green Buffaloes in a Week-6 fixture at Edwin Imboela Stadium.

Today’s fixture is crucial as both Prison Leopards and Green Buffaloes seek to maintain their unbeaten records. 

Leopards are however deemed as favourites as they are coming from two consecutive wins over Zanaco FC and Buildcon while Buffalooes are aiming to recover from the goalless draw against Nchanga Rangers in the last Super League fixture.

Meanwhile, Nkana FC will seek to bounce back from three consecutive defeats to Chambishi, Green Buffaloes and Zanaco FC when they face Nchanga Rangers who will be seeking to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat to MUZA FC.

Nkana are currently 15th on the Super League table with four points and a win over Rangers at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola will propel them out of the relegation zone to move to eight points.

The Kitwe giants will be desperate to collect their second win of the season to climb some steps up the ladder while Rangers will fight for a win to reclaim top position on the Super League table.

In the second fixture of the double header at Nchanga Stadium, Kansanshi Dynamos will fight for their second win when they play hosts to Green Buffaloes.

Kansanshi are unbeaten in the last two games while Green Eagles are winless in the last two games where they have managed to pick one point following a 2-1 defeat to Napsa Stars which was followed by a goalless draw against Zesco United.

At the Godfrey Chitalu Stadium in Kabwe, five-time champions Kabwe Warriors will welcome Lumwana Radiants 

After picking two consecutive draws against Nkwazi and Prison Leopards, the George Lwandamina-drilled Warriors will fight for their second win of the season to move into top ten on the Super League table.

Napsa Stars will fight to redeem themselves from the painful 1-0 defeat to Power Dynamos when they host rejuvenated MUZA FC at the Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.

MUZA are unbeaten in the last three games where they have managed to collect seven points and today’s game presents a tough test because Napsa are unbeaten at their new home venue, the Heroes Stadium.

At Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka, defending champions Red Arrows will welcome Zanaco FC who have reinforced their technical bench with the signing of Nigerian legend Emmanuel Amunike as Kelvin Kaindu’s adviser.

After their elimination from the CAF Champions League, the Zambian champions will aim to bounce back with a bang in a quest to defend their Super League title.

Tomorrow, Super League action continues with Buildcon hosting struggling Nkwazi FC in the first game of the double header at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium while Zesco United will welcome Power Dynamos in the second fixture at the same venue.
