After a whole week of rest, the Pensioners return to action this afternoon for their week-25 match of the Eden National Division One League against Livingstone outfit Livingstone Pirates.
There’s so much to play for in today’s match especially looking at how the log keeps turning out after each week of action in this FAZ second highest League.
The Pensioners lie third on the log and a win in today’s match will not change their position looking at how log leaders F.C MUZA are ahead by five points and Lumwana who are second are ahead by four points.
Fresh off putting four goals past their last opponents Kitwe United in the last fixture, the Pensioners will be hoping that their impressive goal-scoring form carries through in today’s match.
Defensive midfielder Keegan Zulu says in a pre-match interview that the team wants to continue on a winning note and will work hard to record another victory in today’s match.
“We need maximum points especially looking at how tight the table is, we can not afford losing points, Zulu adds.
