NAPSA Stars vs Zanaco Prediction: Expect a fiercely contested contest

At Vodafone Stadium, the NAPSA Stars and Zanaco match that is part of the Zambia Super League will take place. The home team's most recent game was a tie with Kabwe Warriors, but Zanaco come into this match riding a two-game winning run.

The NAPSA Stars have not been victorious in a single one of their last five league matches. However, this team's two defeats came at the hands of ZESCO United and Green Buffaloes, and their other three matches finished in a draw with Prison Leopards, Kansanshi Dynamos, and Kabwe Warriors. During those encounters, NAPSA Stars were only able to score four goals but gave up a total of six goals to their opponents. During the current league season, NAPSA Stars have scored a mean of 0.5 goals per contest on average. This season, NAPSA Stars have an average possession rate of 49.00%, which indicates that the team is apparently unable to keep hold of the ball.

Zanaco is heading into this encounter having won two of their most recent five matches, both of which came against Trident and Mufulira Wanderers. However, the away team was defeated by Green Buffaloes in a game that was played away from home and concluded with a score of 2-1. The other two games that the away team played were tied with Forest Rangers and FC MUZA. During those matches, the away team scored six goals while only allowing four to be scored against them. In matches played away from home, Zanaco scored 1.25 goals on average and allowed 0.5 goals on average. As a result of their disciplinary actions, the team was given 16 yellow cards but no red cards. The percentage of time that Zanaco spends with the ball during games this season is below average, averaging only 48.25 percent.

This should be a close match, with both teams likely to put a significant amount of emphasis on defensive play because they will be hoping to do all it takes to avoid losing, which makes a bet on a few goals a good option. However, NAPSA Stars are not playing at their best right now, and it is difficult to recommend betting on them. In the meantime, based on how things are going for Zanaco, I do not believe that this side will lose here; rather, I believe that playing them to a "draw or no bet" is the safest bet that can be made.
