Nkwazi and Green Buffaloes are set to face each other in the Zambia Super League round 21 at Edwin Imboela Stadium. Both teams enter this match with inconsistent performances, and they will be eager to secure a positive result.

Green Buffaloes approach this match with two victories in their last five games, securing wins against Trident and Mufulira Wanderers. However, they faced defeats against Forest Rangers and NAPSA Stars in that same period, with one fixture ending in a draw against Prison Leopards. Across these matches, Green Buffaloes scored six goals while conceding six. In their away games, they averaged 0.95 goals per match and conceded 1.15. The team accumulated 42 yellow cards and 3 red cards due to disciplinary reasons.

Both teams have been struggling to reach their best form recently, and it will be crucial for them to demonstrate improved quality in their play in this upcoming match. While I believe both teams will strive to avoid a defeat, a goalless draw appears to be a likely outcome, considering the anticipation that both sides will prioritize defensive strategies in this fixture.
