ZESCO United vs Green Eagles Prediction: The home team is expected to get the job done

Levy Mwanawasa Stadium will host the Zambia Super League encounter between ZESCO United and Green Eagles. Below, a preview of the match with betting opportunities is provided.

ZESCO United will look to make it three wins in a row when they play Green Eagles in this game. In their first game of the season, ZESCO United played Nkana on the road and won 0-1. However, their game two against NAPSA Stars saw ZESCO United pick up another win, this time, Edward Lungu being the scorer of the day. Heading into this game, ZESCO United have won two and drawn two of their last four home matches, scoring seven goals and conceding two. 

Green Eagles were held to their second draw this season last time out against Mutondo Stars. In that game, the first half ended without a goal, and it wasn't until the 69th minute that Boniface Sunzu broke the deadlock to put the Green Eagles in the lead. However, poor defensive performance saw the Green Eagles concede a goal 8 minutes after the lead, as Aaron Musonda leveled the score for Mutondo Stars. Heading into this game, the Green Eagles have scored three goals and conceded two this season. 

The visiting Green Eagles have struggled to win matches this season, and it is tough to back them off. Looking at how consistent the home is, the fact they have not been too good offensively could be a difficult issue to sort out here. With the two teams unbeaten this season, this game is expected to be very tough. Yet, home advantage is expected to be a crucial decider in this game, and I am backing ZESCO United to win.
