4 points separate the two duelists in this Super League match. Lusaka Dynamos hold both the points- and home advantage.

Insights:
  • Lusaka Dynamos have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Buffaloes are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
