Power Dynamos could clinch MTN Super League title on Saturday

Power Dynamos will be seeking to claim the win they need to clinch the 2024/25 MTN Super League title when they host relegation-threatened Green Eagles on Saturday, but may be crowned champions even in defeat.

Dynamos, who are seeking an eighth championship, lead second-placed Zesco United by four points with two rounds to play.

A win will take them out of sight, while a draw would leave Zesco needing a victory at Mutondo Stars on Sunday to stay in the hunt and take the title race to the final day.

If Zesco fail to get at least a point at Stars, then Dynamos will be crowned champions no matter what the outcome of their game.

Dynamos also have a vastly superior goal difference (+31) compared to Zesco (+14), which is worth an extra point.

But they will want to take all equations out of the picture by simply winning at home against Eagles, who themselves are only two points above the relegation zone and still in a battle for survival.

Dynamos suffered a 1-0 loss to Red Arrows in the cup last weekend, which, coupled with their 1-1 draw with Nkana in the league, means they are winless in two games. This after they had gone on a 12-game winning run in all competitions, 10 of them in the league.

They have won 10 of their previous 29 league clashes with Eagles to go with six defeats and 13 draws.

Zesco have won their last six games in all competitions, including a 1-0 semifinal victory over Nkana in the cup last time out. Three of those wins have been in the league.

But their form on the road has been patchy and they will know this is a tricky fixture against a desperate opponent who are one point above the relegation zone.

Nkana FC will hope to keep their slim hopes of second place alive when they go to FC Muza. Nkana are five points behind Zesco with two games to play and need the latter to lose both of their remaining games.

The rest of the focus will be at the foot of the table and the relegation scrap.

Indeni are already down, but second-bottom Lumwana Radiants could move out of the relegation zone with a win at home to Napsa Stars. Radiants have 34 points and are two from safety.

Third-bottom Forest Rangers (35 points) have a tough home clash with Red Arrows, while Atletico Lusaka (36), who fill the remaining relegation place, are at Indeni.

Zanaco (36) are only out of the bottom four on goal difference and welcome seventh-placed Mufulira Wanderers.
