A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and 17th place in the table will show on the pitch.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Nkana form and stats
Nkana are steadily winning Super League games and points here at Nkana Stadium. 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 8 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Nkana after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Nkana goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 206 minutes without conceding a goal in the Super League.
Happy days for Nkana in their previous game, a Super League match away at NAPSA Stars (placed 2nd) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Nkana had a home game versus Nkwazi which ended with a victory 1-0.
Nkana are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. As for guarding their own goal, Nkana have only let in 4 goals at home.
Kabwe YSA form and stats
There's been little loot from Kabwe YSA's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 8 away games in the Super League. Kabwe YSA, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Super League, only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Kabwe YSA have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Nchanga Rangers game. Three has not been a lucky number for Kabwe YSA as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Kansanshi Dynamos match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Kabwe YSA, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Nkwazi (placed 16th). Preceding that, the 1-6 home loss versus Green Eagles.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Kabwe YSA's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 8 matches. Kabwe YSA have conceded 18 goals in these games.
