Zambian football legend Kalusha Bwalya says the Chipolopolo have the capacity to beat Nigeria in Saturday’s 2018 Russia World Cup qualifier in Uyo.
Zambia beat Algeria 3-1 in Lusaka before edging the Desert Foxes 1-0 in Constantine.
Kalusha noted: "Zambia have done exceptionally well in the last two games against Algeria.
"The clash in Uyo will be a high-pressure match and Nigeria will be under pressure to contain the highly inspired bullets". He stated.
Meanwhile, more foreign based players have joined the Chipolopolo camp in Accra Ghana.
Russia based striker Fashion Sakala and Stoppilla Sunzu of Arsenal Tula joined the squad and were part of the afternoon training session at the Marcel Desailly Sports Complex.
Coach Wedson Nyirenda's charges are currently in Accra to acclimatize to West African conditions before the match on Saturday.
Sakala and Sunzu join Justin Shonga and Roderick Kabwe on early arrivals for duty.
Nigeria Super Eagles had earlier won the first leg with two goals to one (2-1), courtesy of first half goals from A. Iwobi and K. Iheanacho while C. Mbesuma reduced the tally in the second half at Levy Nwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
