Green Buffaloes vs Lumwana Radiants Prediction: The home team will not disappoint

At Edwin Imboela Stadium, Green Buffaloes will play Lumwana Radiants in the week 9 Zambia Super League game. Heading into this game, the home team is favored to win, while the visiting side is the underdog. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

Green Buffaloes were held to a 1-1 draw last weekend by Kabwe Warriors and will look to return to winning ways. In that game, the second-minute strike by Mutombo Mwamba put Kabwe Warriors in the lead, but an 89th-minute Merlin Kapela strike was enough to see the Green Buffaloes avoid a defeat. However, Green Buffaloes have only won one in their last five matches, coming against Power Dynamos. In the meantime, they lost to Red Arrows and FC MUZA in other matches while they drew Atl. Lusaka.

Lumwana Radiants settled for a goalless draw with Zanaco the previous and will look to secure a win here. In the meantime, this team has an unbeaten run of three matches, losing to Forest Rangers while drawing Red Arrows. However, Lumwana Radiants have only one win in their last matches, coming against Indeni. This season, Lumwana Radiants have struggled, being one of the sides with the fewest points accumulated. In eight games played, Lumwana Radiants scored three goals while conceding ten. 

The home team has been competitive this season and a favorite in this game. While Lumwana Radiants are struggling to find their footing, being on the road will not be an easy task for them. With the better team expected to win this fixture, I am backing Green Buffaloes to take maximum points, an encounter that could end 2-0.
