Nchanga Rangers Claim ABSA Cup Spot, Six Teams Vie for Second Place in Heated Battle
Nchanga Rangers have secured their participation in the 2024 ABSA Cup after a convincing 3-1 victory over Jumulo. Their commanding 32-point lead solidifies their position within the top two at the halfway mark of the season, guaranteeing their presence in the prestigious tournament.
However, the fight for the remaining second spot has become even more captivating. Six teams remain in the hunt, each vying for the coveted position that grants entry to the ABSA Cup.
Lumwana Radiants, trailing closely with 27 points, appear to be the frontrunners, yet they cannot afford any slip-ups. Atletico Lusaka (25 points) and Young Green Buffaloes (24 points) are hot on their heels, determined to not relinquish their close proximity to the top.
The pressure is also mounting on City of Lusaka (22 points), Indeni (22 points), and Kitwe United (20 points) as they strive to maintain their position within the top six. Their remaining two games will be critical in determining their fate in the ABSA Cup race. Aguila, currently standing at 19 points, faces an uphill battle, but their determination should not be underestimated.
