Mufulira vs NAPSA Stars Prediction: Take a chance on the road team

Shinde Stadium will host the Zambia Super League game between Mufulira and NAPSA Stars. In their last meeting, both teams settled for a 1-1 draw. Will there be a winner in this one?

Mufulira are coming off a league defeat to ZESCO United, a game that ended 2-0. In that encounter, Mufulira conceded one goal in each half, with Hiver Amine and Peter Musukuma scoring for their opponent. In the meantime, Mufulira have just one win in their first six matches of the season, coming against Lumwana Radiants. In other games, Mufulira lost three and drew two. This season, Mufulira are seated 16th with five points, scoring three goals and conceding six. 

NAPSA Stars played Nchanga Rangers last time out, and they sealed a 3-0 win. In that game, NAPSA Stars took a 2-0 lead before the break, with Evan Kayombo and Simon Nkhata scoring for this team. However, a second-half 86th-minute strike by Jimmy Mukeya was enough to secure maximum points for NAPSA Stars. In the meantime, prior encounters to that win saw NAPSA Stars go a three-match winless run, losing to Nkana and ZESCO United while drawing Green Eagles. This season, NAPSA Stars have 8 points, which positions them 7th in the standings. 

Mufulira have struggled heading into this game, but I expect more from them at home. While NAPSA Stars are coming off a win, I expect them to be very strong here. With a winless run of matches in this fixture, I expect Mufulira to take maximum points in this game. Also, while this game has involved goals in the past, this encounter is not expected to be any different.
