Kitwe United will hope their home comforts are enough to get a result from this difficult encounter with high-flying Lusaka Dynamos.

Insights:
  • Kitwe United have the fewest scored goals (13) in Super League
  • Lusaka Dynamos have scored more than double the goals of Kitwe United.

It's no vacation for neither Kitwe nor Lusaka Dynamos 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.

For Kitwe relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Dynamos are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Kitwe United form and stats

With 2 Super League wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Kitwe United, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Kitwe's last game was hosting Kabwe Warriors (placed 4th) and winning 2-1.

1-1 away at Lumwana Radiants before that.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Zanaco in only three days.

Kitwe aren't scoring a lot here at Nkana Stadium in the league, with only 8 goals from 14 games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Kitwe have only conceded 13 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Nkwazi.

After this away game Dynamos return home for a Super League game against ZESCO United. That game is only four sleeps after this.
