Advantage as Zebras look to improve Lobatse record

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.
