NAPSA Stars form and stats

NAPSA Stars must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Super League games here at Vodafone Stadium.

The home team returns to Vodafone Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Songo on their last time out; the CAF Confederations Cup game ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Songo.

E. Mayuka was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Songo after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

There will be little rest for NAPSA Stars after this match as they are travelling to Lumwana Radiants for a Super League game in only three days.

NAPSA Stars have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. As for guarding their own goal, NAPSA have only let in 1 goal at home.

Prison Leopards form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the best goal difference (+3) away in Super League, on their Super League travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. The fact that Leopards have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

The Leopards goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 271 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Prison Leopards are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Super League against Nkana (placed 13th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Buildcon.

Leopards have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 5 goals have been scored. Leopards are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 2 goals away.
