NAPSA Stars vs ZESCO United Prediction: Both teams have good chances of winning

Zambia Super League round 1 encounter will see NAPSA Stars and ZESCO United battle it out at REIZ Arena. Both teams head into this fixture following a win in their last encounter. How will this encounter end?

NAPSA Stars will look to keep their unbeaten record intact in this fixture when they take on a fierce ZESCO United side at home. Last time out against Nkwazi, this team secured their first win of the season. In that encounter, NAPSA Stars won 0-1 on the road, thanks to Evans Kayombo's strike. However, their encounter against Atl. Lusaka ended 1-1, thanks to Zikiru Adams' late strike that earned them a late point. Heading into this game, NAPSA Stars has not lost a single encounter of their last four, winning one and drawing three. 

ZESCO United's last encounter was against Nkana, and they secured a 0-1 win. In tha encounter, Samson Ngoma's lone strike was what ZESCO United needed to take maximum points. However, a look at this team's recent competitive encounters saw them win two, one other against Trident. However, they lost to Mufulira and Dynamos, while they were held to a goalless draw by Dynamos in the second leg encounter in the Confederation Cup. In that run of matches, NAPSA Stars scored six goals while conceding four. 

I will trust ZESCO United in this fixture looking at their record in this fixture. While NAPSA Stars could be a tough side to track, looking at their run of performances in this encounter, ZESCO United as a team has the better squad and high level of play, which is good enough to secure maximum points for them here.
