In the meantime, prior encounters to that defeat saw Mutondo Stars lose to Nkwazi while they held Konkola Blades to a goalless draw. This season, Mutondo Stars have only accumulated 32 points from 28 games, and they are just two points above relegation-placed sides.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams need a victory to end their poor run here, and we can expect them to play their best football. However, ZESCO United at home in the league have been on fire, and taking a side like Mutondo Stars should be a piece of work for them. In the reverse fixture of this game, the hosts won 1-2 on the road. In this one, I don't expect much strong play from Mutondo Stars here, and ZESCO United should able to dispatch them in both halves of this game in what should end 2-0 at full time.
