In terms of disciplinary action, the away team was given one red card and 29 yellow cards during their match at home. Buildcon seems to be good at keeping possession of the ball, as evidenced by their season-long average of 50.75% possession of the ball.

ZESCO United comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches over NAPSA Stars and Kabwe Warriors, lost to Man United Zambia Academy and Kansanshi Dynamos, and drawn with Power Dynamos.

Buildcon and ZESCO have a relatively solid head-to-head history, as they have met 11 times in the previous seasons, with ZESCO winning 9 games to Buildcon's 0 wins. There were two of those games that finished in ties. Buildcon had a total of 11 goals scored against them in head-to-head competition, while ZESCO had a total of 27 goals scored.

Buildcon have not yet found their rhythm, and it is rather disheartening that the home team only has 10 points after 27 league matches played. The fact that ZESCO got back to winning ways in their most recent match gives us reason to hope that the guests have what it takes to beat a Buildcon team that is not very good, and score at least three goals.
