- Forest Rangers have the most points from losing position (7) in Super League
- Green Buffaloes have the most scored goals (24) in Super League
It's no vacation for neither Forest Rangers nor Green Buffaloes 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.
Forest Rangers form and stats
Forest Rangers have collected 11 points from their Super League home games so far after 3-2-2. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
Forest faced defeat in their previous match, away at Nkana (0-2).
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Kansanshi Dynamos.The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Konkola Blades in only three days.
Forest are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. On the other hand, Forest Rangers have conceded 7 goals.
Green Buffaloes form and stats
Green Buffaloes's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Green Buffaloes collect 14 points from their 7 away matches in the Super League. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
Buffaloes's last game was the home draw against Prison Leopards (3-3). It looked so good for Buffaloes vs Prison Leopards, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. As you can tell from the result, the match against Prison Leopards was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A 0-2 defeat away at Green Eagles before that.After this away game Buffaloes return home for a Super League game against Buildcon. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Buffaloes have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 9 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Buffaloes as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Forest victory, three draws and six Green Buffaloes wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.Forest Rangers missing players
