THE 2015 MTN/FAZ Super League enters Week Seven with Zanaco hoping to maintain their healthy lead at the summit of the table away to Nakambala Leopards.
Nakambala v Zanaco
Zanaco head to  Mazabuka to face bottom placed Nakambala in search of a rare win there.
The Bankers have only picked up one win away at Nakambala since the latter was promoted back in 2006 where they have also picked up four draws and a loss in six visits.
That win came in 2011 when they beat Nakambala 2-1.
A precious away victory will see Zanaco move up to 17 points and hopefully see them maintain their three point lead while Nakambala will remain rooted in 16th place on 3 points.
Blades v Zesco
The defending champions face hosts Konkola Blades in a lunchtime kick off at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola.
Both sides are yet to lose this season heading into the game.
Furthermore, second placed Zesco United are chasing their second successive win and first away victory this season.
Blades was the last team they beat away last September but Zesco should expect a tough time after Nchanga Rangers and Nkana left with scoreless draws against the Chililabombwe club.
Zesco striker Winston Kalengo will be hoping to add to his three goals this season but they must guard against the Blades attacking duo of Nasha Kaya and Happy Kaunda.
Arrows v Eagles
Unbeaten Green Eagles who had a two week spell at the top of the table travel to Lusaka to face  fourth from bottom Red Arrows.
However, fifth placed Eagles have picked up four successive draws since beating Green Buffaloes 1-0 on March 21.
Arrows on the other hand are attempting to halt a run of three successive defeats.
Nkwazi v Assembly
Nkwazi host National Assembly in a Lusaka derby at Edwin Emboela Stadium.
Promoted Nkwazi face Assembly on a high after beating Nchanga Rangers 1-nil last weekend.
The match will be another test for Assembly’s mini-revival after picking up four points in their last two games.
Wanderers v Forest
Mufulira Wanderers and Forest Rangers meet to settle a score from their promotion season in Division One North last year.
Forest should expect a very hostile reception at Shinde Stadium in Mufulira where the local fans still harbour bitter memories of last years 2-1 home loss to the Ndola side.
Rangers v Buffaloes
Nchanga Rangers hope to bounce back from their first loss of the season suffered last weekend against Nkwazi when they host Green Buffaloes at Nchanga Stadium.
Eleventh placed Buffaloes are hunting for their second win of the season as coach Wedson Nyirenda attempts to find a lasting formula to the embattled side that has failed a top four finish since 2010.
Napsa v Dynamos
Second from bottom Napsa Stars begin life without Hector Chilombo when Alfred Mulawo, Godfrey Hamakwenda and Harry Milanzi attempt to halt the sides free-fall.
Napsa face fellow strugglers Lusaka Dynamos who are above them in 14th place at Woodlands Stadium and still without a goal since beating National Assembly 3-1 in Week 1 on March 14.
Meanwhile, Dynamos are still without a league victory after six games played.
