The Super League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Zanaco and ZESCO United are placed 9th and 6th respectively.
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.
Zanaco form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Zanaco's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Sunset Stadium.
The home team returns to Sunset Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Nkana (placed 11th) on their last time out; the Super League game ended 1-1. Before that, Zanaco drew at home versus Nkwazi.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Zanaco at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
ZESCO United form and stats
ZESCO United are still undefeated on their travels in the Super League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
243 minutes! That's how long the ZESCO goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
ZESCO go into this game after a win, the home game against Kabwe Warriors that ended 2-0.
ZESCO United have the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Zanaco won three, ZESCO United won three and four draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.Zanaco missing players
