Nkwazi form and stats
4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Nkwazi playing as the away team in the Super League this season. With the Nkwazi losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
The attacking players of Nkwazi have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 375 minutes.
Two away games in a row for Nkwazi, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus ZESCO United in the Super League.
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Indeni.Nkwazi are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, three draws and two defeats. From a total of ten matches.
Nkwazi are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Nkwazi as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
