Napsa Stars host Lumwana Radiants tonight (Wednesday) in a FAZ Super League relegation zone dogfight at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.

This bottom four relegation zone fixture will pit second from the basement Lumwana against Napsa who are just above them at number 16 on 30 points and 36 points respectively with four games each left to play.

But the pressure is very much on hosts Napsa who have lost their last four league games and facing the strong prospect of going down after ten years of top-flight action.

Napsa interim coach Kampamba Chintu also heads into his third game in charge seeking his first points since his ex-boss Mohamed Fathi was sacked over a week ago.

Meanwhile, Lumwana have seemingly fared a little better over the last four games with two points in the bag.

However, an away defeat in this mid-week date against Napsa will put Lumwana one defeat away from ending an uninterrupted campaign in the FAZ Super League since making their debut in 2016.

Victory for Napsa will lift them out of the relegation zone to number 13 and a point clear of 15th positioned Nkana and 14th placed Indeni who are tied on 37 points.
