As the ZPL Women’s Super-Division enters Week 4, anticipation is building for the upcoming midweek fixtures set to take place on September 4th and 5th, 2024. With the competition already heating up, these matches could be pivotal in shaping the league standings as teams vie for dominance in the early stages of the season. Let’s take a closer look at the key battles that are set to unfold across various stadiums in Zambia.
Nchanga Rangers Queens vs. Trident Queens | Nchanga Stadium | 13:00hrs
Kicking off the midweek action, Nchanga Rangers Queens will host Trident Queens at Nchanga Stadium. Trident Queens, currently sitting in fifth place with four points, will be aiming to bounce back from their recent draw against Police Dove Queens. Nchanga Rangers, on the other hand, will be looking to secure their first win of the season after a series of tough matches. This encounter promises to be a tightly contested affair with both teams eager to prove their mettle.
Choma Warriors Academy vs. Indeni Roses | Choma Independence Stadium | 15:00hrs
Indeni Roses, who are currently at the top of the table alongside Zesco Ndola Girls, will travel to face Choma Warriors Academy. Indeni Roses have been in scintillating form, winning all three of their opening matches without conceding a goal. They will be looking to extend their perfect run against a Choma Warriors side that is yet to register a point this season. This fixture provides a great opportunity for Indeni Roses to solidify their lead, but Choma Warriors will be hoping to pull off an upset at home.
Nkana Queens vs. Zanaco Ladies | Nkana Stadium | 15:00hrs
Two teams desperately in need of a victory will clash when Nkana Queens take on Zanaco Ladies at Nkana Stadium. Both teams are languishing at the bottom of the standings with zero points, making this fixture a crucial one for gaining some much-needed momentum. Nkana Queens, in particular, will be keen to shore up their defense after conceding eight goals in their first three matches. Expect a fiercely competitive game as both sides look to kick-start their campaigns.
Zesco Ndola Girls vs. Green Buffaloes Women | Trade Fair Ground | 15:00hrs
In what is arguably the standout fixture of the round, Zesco Ndola Girls will face Green Buffaloes Women at Trade Fair Ground. Zesco Ndola Girls are joint leaders with Indeni Roses, having won all their matches so far. Green Buffaloes Women, meanwhile, are currently in seventh place but have played fewer matches than their rivals. A victory for Green Buffaloes would not only bolster their position in the standings but also send a statement to the rest of the league.
ZISD Women vs. Yasa Queens | Independence Stadium | 15:00hrs
ZISD Women will play host to Yasa Queens in what promises to be a highly competitive match. Both teams have shown glimpses of quality in their previous games, and this encounter will be critical for their aspirations to climb up the table. Yasa Queens, sitting in fourth place, will be looking to maintain their position in the top half, while ZISD Women aim to close the gap on their rivals.
Thursday – 5th September Fixtures
The action continues on Thursday with a morning kickoff as Red Arrows Women face Kamfinsa Blue Eagles Queens at Nkoloma Stadium at 10:00hrs. Both teams are closely matched, making this an intriguing contest. Later in the afternoon, Green Eagles Women will take on Luyando Foundation Girls at Nasdec Ground, and Nkwazi Queens will meet Play It Forward Queens at Edwin Imboela Stadium, both at 15:00hrs. The fixture between Police Dove Queens and Elite Ladies has been postponed, adding an element of suspense as fans eagerly await their clash.
