ZESCO vs Konkola Prediction: Both sides hoping for a win

The game four encounter between ZESCO and Konkola will take place at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. ZESCO suffered their first loss away from home in their most recent match, which was contested against Nkwazi, while Konkola and Power Dynamos battled to another scoreless tie.

ZESCO's three prior victories came against Nkana, Forest Rangers, and NAPSA Stars, all of which were decided by a score of 1-0. All three of ZESCO's victories came in their previous encounters. However, over the course of five matches, the only time they were defeated was by Nkwazi, whom they lost to on the road by a score of 1-0. The other game, which was played against the Prison Leopards, ended in a draw. During those contests, ZESCO was able to score four goals while only allowing two to be scored against them. During the current league season, ZESCO have scored 0.67 goals on average in every game they have played. This season, ZESCO have had an average possession of the ball of 56.00%, which indicates that they are good at keeping the ball.

The Konkola come into this match having not won any of their most recent matches, which is a bad sign for them. However, they were defeated by Nkwazi in a match that concluded with a score of 1-0 in the first game of the 2023–2024 Zambia Super League, while four of their matches against Forest Rangers, Buildcon, Green Eagles, and Power Dynamos ended in draws. During those encounters, the away team was responsible for three goals scored and four goals allowed. Away from home, Konkola games resulted in an average of 0 goals scored and 0.33 goals conceded per game. The Konkola have very strong possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 57.00% throughout this season.

The club that is playing at home is the superior side, and despite the fact that Konkola has been successful, notably in defense, this season, I do not believe that they will be able to hold ZESCO when they are playing away from home. Additionally, even though I anticipate a significant amount of defensive play from both teams in this matchup, a wager on there being few goals scored is also a significant alternative to take into consideration.
