The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Zanaco are in the 10th position while the guesting Nkwazi worry at 13th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Zanaco form and stats
Home games in the Super League have been a walk in the park for Zanaco so far, with 31 points won from 12 matches; 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Zanaco has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Sunset Stadium. We remember; it was Power Dynamos.
The Zanaco fans got no joy from their last match, a CAF Confederations Cup game also here at Sunset Stadium: A 0-3 defeat against Pyramids FC. Before that, Zanaco had a Super League home game versus Buildcon which ended with a victory 2-0.
The manager C. Kaunda will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Pyramids FC in only four days.
The Zanaco manager C. Kaunda has got the team scoring with 25 from 12 home games in the league. Zanaco have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Nkwazi form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nkwazi so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 1-7-4 (win-draw-lose).
Home advantage was not enough for Nkwazi in their previous game, as they lost their Super League-match, hosting Green Buffaloes, 0-2. A 1-1 draw at Lumwana Radiants's stadium before that.
Goals are few and far between in Nkwazi's away league games. Only 6 goals from 12 travels. It's not easy to score on Nkwazi as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
