The Super League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between ZESCO United and Kabwe Warriors promises to be an interesting one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

The home fans saw their team lose the first Super League game of the season here at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss from ZESCO United's 13 home games.

Kabwe Warriors form and stats
Only one away game in the Super League so far for Kabwe Warriors and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 6 victories, 3 draws and 4 losses from 13 travels.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground Godfrey Chitalu Stadium. Warriors suffered a 0-1 loss to Nkana (placed 9th). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Nkwazi.
Warriors were so close to getting something from the game against Nkana, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
