Advantage as Zebras look to improve Lobatse record

Job half done: The Zebras held Burundi to a goalless draw

The Zebras have to improve their New Lobatse Stadium record if they are to progress to the next round of qualifiers for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

The national side held Burundi to a score less draw in Bujumbura on Sunday and now Peter Butler’s charges must fully use home ground advantage when they welcome the East Africans in a fortnight. The Botswana Football Association (BFA) has announced that the match would be played in Lobatse as the National Stadium is unavailable.  The new stadium has never been a happy hunting ground for the Zebras who have only won there once in three official matches.  One of the loses - against Ethiopia - was however over turned on a technicality.

The most recent heartbreak for the Zebras in Lobatse is a 4-1 humiliation from Swaziland in a friendly early this month. The Zebras have lost three times in four matches at the venue, conceding 12 goals and scoring six.
