Zambian football fans will have plenty to watch when Power Dynamos take on Al Merrikh in the CAF Champions League preliminary round this weekend.
The first major question will be whether Power can produce the positive away result coach Osward Mutapa says is important for the team’s campaign.
The Zambian champions have already arrived in Kigali and held their first training session at Amahoro Stadium.
The match will also provide an early test for some of Power’s new players.
The club’s squad includes new arrivals such as Chadian striker Amine Hiver, Kenyan midfielder Marvin Omondi Nabwire and Cameroonian defender Nsoh Fabrice Ndeh.

Another interesting aspect will be Power’s ability to manage the two-legged tie.
The first match is only half the contest, with the return fixture scheduled to take place in Zambia later in September’s opening weeks.
Power’s recent domestic success also means expectations will be high.
The club enters the competition as the reigning Super League champion and has experience of reaching the CAF Champions League group stage.
For Zambian supporters, the biggest question is simple: Can Power Dynamos bring home a result that puts them in control of the tie?
Saturday will provide the first answer.
