Buildcon form and stats

2-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Buildcon so far this season.

Buildcon are returning here after visiting Green Buffaloes in a Super League game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Zanaco in a game that was won 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Buildcon have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won zero times, drawn three and lost two.

The Buildcon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Buildcon have only let in 2 goals at home.

Kitwe United form and stats

The Super League season is young and Kitwe United have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Kitwe, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Mufulira Wanderers game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Before that, Kitwe travelled to Lusaka Dynamos and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Kitwe's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Kitwe have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
