Nkana Coach Mwenya Chipepo expressed his excitement about leading his team into the derby.
‘’I coached Power Dynamos for two seasons recently most players that are there I coached them and I know how they play. But there is a new coach there now and he will use his own tactics. I am with Nkana now and I want to win. It’s going to be a tough game, but we are prepared for it.’’
‘’Tomorrows match is a huge task for both teams. Our aim in tomorrows match is to win so that we move up on the table
Meanwhile, Power Dynamos Head Coach Oswald Mutapa stressed the importance of consistency.
‘’This game is very important. We are league leaders we need to show consistency we are coming from two wins. We need to get the desired results so that we can keep the momentum going.’’
‘’When we lost against Zesco I was sad and it was like we had lost the league title some fans even suggested it was better to win against Nkana than the league title. But that’s behind us. We bounced back with two wins, and now our focus is on winning and making our supporters happy tomorrow.’’
Who will claim the bragging rights in this fiercely contested rivalry? Will Power Dynamos secure a victory to maintain their position at the top of the table, or will Nkana rise to the occasion and climb higher in the standings? The stage is set,let the derby drama unfold!
