Zanaco form and stats

4-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Zanaco so far this season. The last three games played by Zanaco, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Zanaco drew their last game, also a home match. Green Buffaloes (placed 3rd) was the opponent, 1-1 the score.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Prison Leopards the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Zanaco perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zanaco as a small favourite), we find five games. Zanaco has won two of these, drawn two and lost one.

The manager Kaindu will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Konkola Blades in only three days.

Zanaco aren't scoring a lot here at Sunset Stadium in the league, with only 10 goals from 11 games. From these home matches, Zanaco have conceded only 8 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

The visitors are W5-D4-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Super League.

The Green Eagles goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 211 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

It's the second away game in a row for Green Eagles, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Lusaka Dynamos (placed 18th) last time out.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Power Dynamos.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Green Eagles in our archives, and the results are: one win for Green Eagles, four draws and four defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Nkwazi in just four days.
