Mufulira vs Green Buffaloes Prediction: Visiting Buffaloes to take advantage of Mufulira

Mufulira will play the Green Buffaloes in the final game of the first week of the Zambia Super League, which will take place at Shinde Stadium. The Green Buffaloes will want to be consistent this season in their chase of league wins, despite the fact that the Mufulira team they are playing against on the road was just promoted to the top level.

Mufulira Wanderers had a winning record of two games against Red Arrows and Kabwe Warriors and a losing record of three games against Lusaka Dynamos, Green Eagles, and Nkwazi in their previous matches, with no games ending in a tie. During those encounters, Mufulira Wanderers were able to score 10 goals while only allowing two to be scored against them.

At the end of the 2023 season, the Green Buffaloes ended with 55 points after playing in 34 matches. The Green Buffaloes played their way into the Confederation Cup with their strong performances in those matches. Despite having won three of their previous matches, the Green Buffaloes are competing in this one. In their most recent five matches, ZESCO United, Buildcon, and Zanaco have each won one, drawn one, and lost one to Kansanshi Dynamos. Their most recent encounter against the Kabwe Warriors was a draw. During those matches, the away team scored six goals but allowed eight to be scored against them.

Over the course of the past ten seasons, Mufulira and Green Buffaloes have squared off ten times, with Mufulira Wanderers coming out on top in none of the games while Green Buffaloes took home six victories. A total of four of the games were decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Mufulira managed to score three goals, while the Green Buffaloes scored thirteen.

Given that the favored Green Buffaloes will be competing away from home and that Mufulira continues to have trouble getting their best players on the field, I anticipate a close game. In the meantime, we anticipate that the Green Buffaloes will prevail due to the fact that they have relatively high playing experience.
