Mufulira Wanderers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 18th position in the Super League table. Visiting Green Buffaloes holds 9th place with 26 pts.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Mufulira Wanderers form and stats

Mufulira Wanderers's struggle is real here with only 4 points collected from 8 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-6. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mufulira Wanderers with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Zanaco game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 414 minutes without scoring a league goal. B. Chewe was the last player to find the net.

Mufulira Wanderers lost their last game at NAPSA Stars (placed 2nd) after a 0-4 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Power Dynamos.

Mufulira Wanderers were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The lack of attacking qualities in Mufulira Wanderers means that they have only scored 4 goals in 8 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.

Green Buffaloes form and stats

There's been little loot from Green Buffaloes's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Green Buffaloes only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. With three draws in a row for Green Buffaloes the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Green Buffaloes delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Nkana (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a Super League game. A 2-2 draw at NAPSA Stars's stadium before that.

The attacking power of Green Buffaloes when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, Green Buffaloes have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Green Buffaloes - Mufulira Wanderers 1-0, played this season. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: 0 - 3 - 6 (Mufulira Wanderers wins - draws - Green Buffaloes wins). As for goals, 3 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 had two or less.
