Zambian giants Power Dynamos have finalized their travel logistics and will land in Nigeria this Wednesday for their high-stakes CAF Champions League Matchday 4 fixture. The Kitwe-based squad arrived in Lusaka on Tuesday evening to prepare for an early morning flight to West Africa. The team faces a daunting task as they travel to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo to take on Nigeria’s Rivers United this Sunday, February 1.
The upcoming clash serves as a direct follow-up to last Saturday’s tense encounter at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola, where both sides settled for a goalless stalemate. That result earned each club their first point of the group stage after enduring two consecutive losses in their opening matches. With the second half of the group phase commencing, both managers recognize that only a victory will keep their quarter-final ambitions alive in a highly competitive bracket.
The current standings in Group A place immense pressure on both organizations, as RS Berkane of Morocco and Egyptian powerhouse Pyramids FC currently dominate the top two spots with seven points each. Rivers United sits in third place based on goal difference, just ahead of the bottom-ranked Power Dynamos. A defeat for either side in Uyo could effectively end their journey in this year’s premier continental competition, making Sunday’s showdown a “must-win” scenario for the visitors and the hosts alike.
