It's early days in the Super League and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Nkwazi and Lumwana Radiants 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.
Nkwazi form and stats
As mentioned below, Nkwazi are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Super League games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Edwin Imboela Stadium.
Nkwazi drew their last game, 1-1 away at Nakambala Leopards (placed 17th). Ahead of that match, Nkwazi won a home game hosting Zanaco (3-2).
Nkwazi has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Lumwana Radiants form and stats
It's not happening yet for Lumwana Radiants on their Super League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's a growing despair in Lumwana Radiants as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Lumwana Radiants seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It might be tough going out on the road again for Lumwana Radiants, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus ZESCO United (placed 3rd). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Red Arrows.
It's early days yet, but Lumwana Radiants has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
