Kabwe Warriors vs ZESCO United

KABWE, Zambia (Interstat) — A struggling ZESCO United side will look to halt a dramatic collapse in form when they visit rival Kabwe Warriors in a Zambian Super League fixture Sunday at Godfrey Chitalu Stadium.

The Week 10 matchup arrives for ZESCO (5-6) on the heels of a humiliating 6-0 home defeat to Maestro United Zambia last Sunday. That result is part of a confounding pattern for a team that also routed Red Arrows 6-0 this season but has since suffered multiple heavy losses, including a 4-0 defeat to Lumwana Radiants and a 3-0 loss to NAPSA Stars.

The Warriors (3-7), meanwhile, are looking to rebound from a 2-1 loss to Green Eagles. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, featuring a 6-0 loss to Nkwazi but also a pair of 5-0 victories over Prison Leopards and Forest Rangers.

Despite ZESCO’s recent woes, statistical models favor the visitors. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-0 victory for ZESCO United, and its ELO rating system gives them a 60.80 percent probability to win.

The match offers ZESCO a final chance to build momentum before a significant step up in competition. Immediately following this league contest, the team travels to face Egyptian powerhouse Zamalek SC in the CAF Confederation Cup on Nov. 23.
