A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The NAPSA Stars fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Mufulira Wanderers's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
NAPSA Stars and Mufulira Wanderers should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
