Kansanshi Dynamos FC host Mutondo Stars Tomorrow | Independence Stadium
The MTN Super League enters Week 21 with Kansanshi Dynamos FC set to host Mutondo Stars at Independence Stadium.
Assistant coach Dennis Makinka will be without several key players due to injuries and illness, but the coach believes the situation presents an opportunity for other members of the squad to step up and make an impact.
The Mabanga Boys will be aiming for a strong response after a difficult result in their previous outing, while Mutondo arrive with confidence following a 2โ1 victory over FC MUZA.
In their last meeting, Mutondo Stars secured a narrow 1โ0 win at Arthur Davies Stadium, and Kansanshi will now look to turn the tables in front of their home supporters.
There is plenty at stake heading into this encounter, with Kansanshi determined to avoid slipping back into the relegation zone. Four points separate the two sides, with Kansanshi currently sitting 13th on the log with 21 points, while Mutondo are 17th with 17 points.
Assistant Coach Dennis Makinka- Full Pre-Match Quotes
Assistant coach Dennis Makinka expects a demanding contest:
โYeah, itโs going to be a very tough game. They are fired up after winning their last match, and we are coming from a loss. We expect them to give us a good challenge because they are a youthful side, full of running and very physical.โ
On analysing the opponent:
โWeโve watched a few clips from their game against MUZA. They are a very good team, very quick in transitioning from defence to attack, so we have been preparing for how they play.โ
Despite the previous result, Makinka says the mood in camp remains positive:
โEveryone is in high spirits. Training has been good, and even those who didnโt get a chance to play are pushing hard because they want an opportunity in this game.โ
Injury Update & Squad Depth
The assistant coach confirmed several injury concerns but expressed confidence in the squadโs depth:
โKelvin Kapumbu is a doubt and weโll make a decision tomorrow. Rodgers Lukonde is out, Mathe ws Mutombo is out, Patrick Machesu is also out, and Willy Bokingo is unavailable. We have a few injuries, but we have a big squad with players ready to step in.โ
He added that the situation could benefit younger players:
โWhen we train, everyone works on the same things, so it becomes easier for someone else to come in. Itโs agreat opportunity for the young players who have been waiting for their chance.โ
