Mufulira vs Trident Prediction: Hosts expected to return to winning ways

Mufulira and Trident are set to face off at Shinde Stadium in round 27 of the Zambia Super League. Let's analyze this match and explore potential betting opportunities.

In their recent matches, Mufulira have struggled to secure a single victory, and they will be looking to reverse their fortunes in their upcoming game. Unfortunately, in their last three league matches, Mufulira suffered defeats against Nkana, FC MUZA, and Forest Rangers. However, they managed goalless draws in their encounters with Red Arrows and Mutondo Stars. Throughout this period, Mufulira only scored one goal while conceding five. On average, Mufulira scored 0.96 goals per match in the current league season. In terms of discipline, the home team accumulated 46 yellow cards and one red card. Mufulira appears adept at ball retention, maintaining an average possession of 51.12% in this season.

Trident comes into this match with two wins in their last five league games. They secured victories against Mutondo Stars and Green Eagles during this period. However, they faced defeats in the remaining encounters, losing to Nkana, FC MUZA, and Forest Rangers. Throughout these matches, Trident managed to score 7 goals while conceding 7. In away games, Trident averaged 0.6 goals scored per match and conceded 1.28. Their ball possession statistics are not particularly strong, with an overall average of 47.29% possession for the season.

I believe this will be a closely contested match, but with Trident playing at home, they have a good opportunity to end their poor run. However, Kabwe Warriors showed promising form against Green Eagles recently, although playing away will present its challenges. Given that both teams managed to score in their previous encounter, I anticipate a similar outcome in this match as well.
