Nkwazi vs Mutondo Stars Prediction: Nkwazi to extend their record in this fixture

Edwin Imboela Stadium will be the venue for the Zambia Super League encounter between Nkwazi and Mutondo Stars. Nkwazi won the two previous meetings for this game. Will Mutondo Stars end Nkwazi's dominance in this game?

Nkwazi will look to open their season with a win just like they ended the previous one with a win. This team comes in as favorites in this game, as they won three of their last five matches last season, defeating Trident, NAPSA Stars, and Green Eagles. In the meantime, this team could only end the season with 52 points, which saw them finish 6th in the league standings. Ahead of this game, Nkwazi have scored in just three of their last six matches, conceding in each encounter.

Mutondo Stars ended the previous season with a defeat to league winners, Red Arrows, in a 0-1 encounter. However, this season's opener will be challenging as they take on a side that has defeated them in each meeting. In the meantime, Mutondo Stars have a record of two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last matches heading into this. In those encounters, this team scored five goals while conceding three. 

I expect the record to repeat in this game, particularly with Nkwazi at home. Mutondo Stars have not had it easy in the previous years against Nkwazi, playing two, losing two and failing to concede. However, while I expect this game to be more lively with hunger from both teams, goals can also be an option to consider.
