Zanaco vs Green Buffaloes Prediction: These two sides are playing at the same level

Zambia Super League action will kick off at Sunset Stadium, where Zanaco will be the host for Green Buffaloes in week 28. While they head into this game, there is just one point separating these two sides in the standings, with Zanaco ahead. How will this game unfold?

Zanaco extended their unbeaten run of games to six in their last encounter against ZESCO United, which ended 2-2. In that game, Charles Zulu scored from the spot for Zanaco in the 31st minute as he leveled the scores after Samson Ngoma had put ZESCO United in the lead. In the meantime, Zanaco were the side that got things moving in the second half, and this time, Francis Moustapha was who they needed to put them in the lead in the 69th minute. However, Zanaco could not hold onto the lead, and it was in the 87th minute of the game Ngoma Samson scored his second to see the points shared. However, Zanaco's last six games saw five end in draws; four others came against NAPSA Stars, Nkwazi, Konkola Blades, and Power Dynamos. In the same run of games, Zanaco still did well to secure a road win over Prison Leopards in a match that ended 0-1.

Green Buffaloes were victorious in their last league game against Kabwe Warriors, and they hope to replicate that success in this road game. In a game that ended just 1-0, Friday Samu’s 29th-minute goal proved the difference and ensured Green Buffaloes took all three points. Looking at Green Buffaloes' last league games, the visiting team has now done well to win two of their previous three, with one other encounter ending in a goalless draw with Kansanshi, making them undefeated in that span. Green Buffaloes scored four times in those matches, while they gave up just one goal in the same number of games.

The last five games between these two teams ended in three wins for the visiting team, while the road could only salvage draws in two other encounters. In those matches, Green Buffaloes hit the back of the net six different times, with Green Buffaloes scoring just two goals.

History might come to an end in this game, as Zanaco look sharp to me at the moment. The hosts have done more work in defense in the last months, while the visiting team has not been good in offense either. With the home side expected to show their defensive strength here, they will be able to net here with the help of their attackers, who could score at least once in what should end in a few goals.
