Preview: Zanaco Hosts Green Buffaloes in Zambian Super League Clash

LUSAKA, Zambia (Interstat) — Zanaco and Green Buffaloes will meet in a pivotal Zambian Super League match on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at Sunset Stadium.

The Week 17 fixture features a home side in strong form against a visiting squad seeking to rebound from a recent defeat. Zanaco, the hosts, enter the match unbeaten in their last three outings. Their most recent result was a 0-0 draw with Power Dynamos on Nov. 30, 2025. That followed a dominant 4-0 road victory over Nkwazi on Nov. 16.

Green Buffaloes, the visitors, saw a four-match unbeaten streak snapped in their last contest, a 2-1 home loss to Kansanshi Dynamos on Dec. 7, 2025. Prior to that, they had earned convincing wins, including a 3-1 victory over Green Eagles and a 4-2 triumph against Nkana.

Statistical projections for Sunday’s match present a conflicting outlook. Interstat’s ELO rating system gives Zanaco a 68.00 percent probability to win. However, the same organization’s game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw.

The match is the first of two league meetings between the sides this season. They are scheduled to play again at Green Buffaloes’ home ground on Sunday, April 26, 2026.

Kickoff is set for Sunday afternoon at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka. The result could significantly impact the upper half of the Super League table as the season approaches its midpoint.
