MTN Super League: Week 22 Fixtures & Key Match Previews 🚨
The MTN Super League enters Week 22 with teams looking to build on or bounce back from their previous results. ZESCO United remain top after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Green Eagles, while Kabwe Warriors and Red Arrows played out a 1-1 draw, keeping the title race wide open. At the other end, Indeni FC shocked FC MUZA with a narrow 1-0 win, while ZANACO produced a dominant 4-1 victory over Green Buffaloes, sending a strong message to the league. With these results in mind, here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this crucial round of fixtures.
Saturday | 01/02/2025
🔹 Nkwazi FC vs Nkana FC | Edwin Imboela Stadium (15:00h)
Both Nkwazi (33 points) and Nkana (33 points) are coming off contrasting results. Nkwazi claimed a thrilling 2-1 win over Atletico Lusaka, while Nkana suffered a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to NAPSA Stars. This clash is crucial for both sides, with Nkana desperate to bounce back, while Nkwazi will look to build momentum and solidify their top-six status.
🔹 ZESCO United vs Nchanga Rangers | Levy Mwanawasa Stadium (15:00h)
League leaders ZESCO United (39 points) strengthened their grip on the top spot after a 1-0 win over Green Eagles, thanks to a Freddy Michael goal. They now face Nchanga Rangers (23 points, 16th place), who played out a 1-1 draw against Mutondo Stars. ZESCO’s home form has been stellar, and with only 13 goals conceded all season, they will be overwhelming favorites against a struggling Nchanga side.
🔹 NAPSA Stars vs Green Eagles | Woodlands Stadium (15:00h)
NAPSA Stars stunned Nkana with a 1-0 victory, a result that lifted them further from the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Green Eagles will be looking to recover from their 1-0 loss to ZESCO. With both teams focusing on defensive solidity, expect a tightly contested battle with limited goal-scoring opportunities.
🔹 Lumwana Radiants vs Red Arrows | Lumwana Ground (15:00h)
Red Arrows played out a 1-1 draw against Kabwe Warriors, failing to close the gap on ZESCO. Lubamba’s goal salvaged a point, but they will need to be sharper against relegation-threatened Lumwana Radiants, who suffered a 2-0 defeat to Mufulira Wanderers. With Arrows’ attack firing on all cylinders, this match could be one-sided unless Lumwana tightens up at the back.
🔹 FC MUZA vs Forest Rangers | Nakambala Stadium (15:00h)
Both teams are coming off disappointing results. FC MUZA suffered a shocking 1-0 loss to bottom-placed Indeni, while Forest Rangers battled to a goalless draw against Power Dynamos. This clash will be crucial for Forest Rangers, who are hovering just above the drop zone, while MUZA will seek redemption after their unexpected setback.
🔹 Power Dynamos vs Zanaco | Arthur Davies Stadium (15:00h)
Power Dynamos (33 points) were left frustrated in a 0-0 draw against Forest Rangers, a result that hampered their top-four ambitions. They now face a revitalized Zanaco (23 points, 14th place), who hammered Green Buffaloes 4-1 in one of their best performances of the season. Can Power Dynamos break down a resilient Zanaco, or will Zanaco’s momentum carry them to another crucial victory?
🔹 Atletico Lusaka vs Green Buffaloes | Nkoloma Stadium (15:00h)
Atletico Lusaka (25 points, 12th place) will be eager to recover from their 2-1 defeat to Nkwazi, while Green Buffaloes were humbled 4-1 by Zanaco. Both teams have struggled with consistency, making this a must-win clash for sides aiming for a top-half finish.
Sunday | 02/02/2025
🔹 Kabwe Warriors vs Indeni FC | Railway Stadium (15:00h)
Kabwe Warriors (37 points, 2nd place) will look to keep their title hopes alive after a 1-1 draw against Red Arrows. Francis Banda’s goal put them ahead, but they couldn’t hold on. Facing last-placed Indeni (10 points), who shocked FC MUZA with a 1-0 win, Warriors are expected to dominate at home. However, they must be wary of Indeni’s newfound resilience.
🔹 Mutondo Stars vs Mufulira Wanderers | Arthur Davies Stadium (15:00h)
Mutondo Stars (24 points, 13th place) secured a 1-1 draw against Nchanga Rangers, while Mufulira Wanderers (30 points, 8th place) were convincing 2-0 winners over Lumwana Radiants. Mufulira are in good form and will aim to keep their upward momentum, but Mutondo Stars could pose a tough challenge at home.
What’s at Stake?
✅ Title Race – ZESCO United, Kabwe Warriors, and Red Arrows continue to battle at the top, with every point crucial.
✅ CAF Spots – Nkana, Power Dynamos, and Nkwazi are closely fighting for continental football qualification.
✅ Relegation Battle – Forest Rangers, Nchanga Rangers, Lumwana Radiants, and Indeni are in a desperate fight to avoid the drop.
