Buildcon will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 7 points behind ZESCO United.
It's no vacation for neither Buildcon nor ZESCO United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

ZESCO United form and stats
4 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of ZESCO United playing as the away team in the Super League this season. With the ZESCO United losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bitter travels for ZESCO United as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the 1 de Agosto match.
ZESCO United have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 270 minutes ago. Q. Kola was the goal scorer.
ZESCO United play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Zanaco (placed 13th). A 0-1 defeat away at Nkwazi before that.
ZESCO United did not look prepared in the first half against Zanaco and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting 1 de Agosto in just four days.
ZESCO United have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. ZESCO United have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
