Kabwe Warriors vs Kansanshi Prediction: Take a chance on the home team

Kabwe Warriors will be the side at home in this Zambia Super League round of 28 encounter against Kansanshi. Heading into this encounter, the last time these two faced each other was last November, when Kansanshi won 2-0.

Kabwe Warriors bounced back to winning ways in their last game against Indeni in the ABSA Cup quarterfinals, following a defeat at the hands of Green Buffaloes in the prior encounter. In that game, Matthews Tolopa scored twice for the Kabwe Warriors, while Munda Phiri and Akakulubelwa Mwachiaba also have their names on the scoresheet. In the meantime, an own goal scored by Kennedy Phiri in the last minute of the game did complete Kabwe Warriors' win. Going into this game, Kabwe Warriors have now done well to accumulate 24 goals from 27 games played this season, while they conceded 21. The hosts are well positioned 6th in the standings with 38 points accumulated.

Kansanshi's last encounter was a league game, and this team saw themselves get a disappointing result on the road. In that game, Kansanshi were thrashed 4-1, with Bruce Musakanya being the only player to register a goal for Kansanshi. However, Kansanshi have been very poor in recent games as they have now gone seven games in the league without a single win; note, they picked just two points from those encounters. Kansanshi did see themselves giving up eleven goals in their last seven games, where they scored just four in the same run.

In the history of these two teams, they have seen themselves play against one another six times. In those matches, Kansanshi did dominate with three wins, compared to Kabwe Warriors’ two. However, there was one encounter that ended the goalless draw in 2022.

Both sides need to give a lot as they have different aspirations as the season draws close to the end. The hosts are desperately working to make it to the top four spots ahead of this one, but that will determine them to be at their best here. Kansanshi, on the other hand, has shown no signs of promising improvement in recent games, and I think they might struggle in this one, also. Take the hosts to win at 1.71 odds on 1xbet. Also, with the two teams' league games not actually seeing them score many goals, a 2-0 win for Kabwe Warriors as slight favorites looks like a possible perfect outcome.
