Zesco United host Supersport United at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, Ndola, Zambia in the CAF Confederations Cup quarter-final second leg Saturday.

The first stanza marred by cries of poor officiating ended 0-0 at Lucas Moripe Stadium, Pretoria, South Africa last week.

The duel will have to be settled today with the aggregate winner making the semi-final.

Zesco go into the clash against the backdrop of a 3-0 thumping by Lumwana Radiant in the Zambian Super League, while the visitors were held 1-1 by Chippa United in the Premier Soccer League on the same day.

The Ndola giants, whose coach Serbian Zlatko Krmpotic has lately come under fire from fans, will be hard pressed to atone for the humiliating defeat at Levy, which is considered their fortress.

Any win will see them through to the next round. They will be welcoming Kenyan midfielder Antony Akumu who missed the Pretoria trip due to suspension.

On the other hand coach Eric Tinkler who felt aggrieved by what he termed “disastrous officiating” will be out to prove that they were robbed at home.

Any win or scoring draw will see them book a semis berth.

New Zealand international Jeremy Brockie, who tops the scorers’ chat in the competition on nine points will be expected to lead the goal hunt for Supersport.
