Edwin Imboela Stadium will serve as the venue for the Zambia Super League match between Green Buffaloes and Mufulira. In their most recent encounter, Mufulira prevailed at home by a score of 1-0. Without further ado, let's dive right into the previews of this match and speculate on the outcome. 

In their recent matches, Green Buffaloes secured a victory in one game, defeating Trident last weekend with a scoreline of 2-0. However, other fixtures in their last five outings resulted in losses to Nkana and Forest Rangers, while two games concluded in draws against Mutondo Stars and FC MUZA.

Regarding discipline, the home team received 37 yellow cards and 3 red cards. Notably, Green Buffaloes excel in ball possession, maintaining an average of 51.08% possession in this season.

Mufulira Wanderers heads into this match without a victory in their last five games. The visitors faced defeats against Prison Leopards, Konkola Blades, and Power Dynamos, with two fixtures ending in draws against Nkwazi and ZESCO United. During this period, Mufulira scored three goals while conceding nine. In their away games, Mufulira Wanderers averaged 0.88 goals scored per match and conceded 1.12. The team received 28 yellow cards and one red card due to disciplinary reasons. Their ball possession statistics indicate an average of 49.64% overall in this season.

Reviewing their meetings since 2019 up to the present moment, it's noteworthy that five matches have seen fewer than two goals. Drawing from this historical trend, it is anticipated that the upcoming match will result in a similar outcome. Additionally, considering the hosts' motivation from their recent home win over Trident last weekend, there's an expectation that they will secure another narrow victory in this match.
