16:01: Fwayo is in for Chivuta and SECOND HALF is underway
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: Jacob Mulenga needs to settle in the game as he has missed quite a number of chances. Chris too has had a fair share of missed opportunities but the strikeforce and correct this is second half. The team needs to press more which Chisamba was been doing. Nathan has been outstanding alongside Mukuka Mulenga in midfield. Fwayo introduction was expected and should add impetus. James Chamanga’s speed could come in handy for the second half.

Herve Renard has made only one change to the team that massacred Lesotho 4-0 last week. As expected, first choice goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene is back.
Soccer fans had earlier taken over the show in the Copperbelt town of Ndola as Zambia counts down to its Brazil 2014 World Cup clash against Sudan at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
The town has been sprayed with the Chipolopolo green and orange with fans blowing whistles and Vuvuzelas across the city.
The only dominant sound is of various songs in honour of the 2012 African champions.
Fans who have come enmasse from across the country are warming up to the match with some already finding their way to the stadium.
At Broadway, which is the convergent point, there has been no end to entertainment as fans that are just making their way into the friendly city are being welcomed by the Chipolopolo anthem.
The more cautious ones are already making their way to the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium which is also bathed in green and orange. Kick off time is 15:00 hours.
