ZESCO United vs Mutondo Stars Prediction: Hosts will be unstoppable

ZESCO United and Mutondo Stars will battle it out in this round 29 Zambia Super League game at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. Hosts come in as overwhelming favorites, while the visitors are heavy underdogs. How will this end?

NAPSA Stars are off a defeat at the hands of league-leading Red Arrows in a game they lost 2-0. In the meantime, ZESCO United have seen each of their last four games end without a win. In those matches, ZESCO United lost on penalties to Nchanga Rangers in the Zambia ABSA Cup, while they were held to draws by NAPSA Stars and Kabwe Warriors. In the meantime, their overall season performance has seen ZESCO United pull off 50 points from a possible 84 this season, positioning them second in the league with 10 points adrift of first place Red Arrows.

Mutondo Stars are on a run of three games without a win, and in this game, the visitors will hope to get their luck. In their last league game, Mutondo Stars took on Power Dynamos and saw themselves lost 0-1, with Fredrick Mulambia's strike in the 57th minute of the second half being the difference. In the meantime, prior encounters to that defeat saw Mutondo Stars lose to Nkwazi while they held Konkola Blades to a goalless draw. This season, Mutondo Stars have only accumulated 32 points from 28 games, and they are just two points above relegation-placed sides.

Both teams need a victory to end their poor run here, and we can expect them to play their best football. However, ZESCO United at home in the league have been on fire, and taking a side like Mutondo Stars should be a piece of work for them. In the reverse fixture of this game, the hosts won 1-2 on the road. In this one, I don't expect much strong play from Mutondo Stars here, and ZESCO United should able to dispatch them in both halves of this game in what should end 2-0 at full time.
