Al-Merreikh vs Zanaco tips and predictions

Interesting CAF Champions League fixture likely to be close

There are arguments to be made for both sides in this clash so be careful when picking a winner. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. In their last 4 matches Al-Merreikh have only conceded 0.5 goals, while Zanaco have only conceded 0.6 goals per game on average in their last 7 away matches.

It would be silly to imply that the favourites are a banker here. It's possible that the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. In which case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet.

Al-Merreikh have drawn 7 of their last 20 matches on their own soil coupled with the fact that Zanaco have drawn 6 of their last 16 matches on the road. They shared the spoils with Prison Leopards earlier this month and while any draw will do, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to sit on the fence about. The draw is the play after what will probably be a close encounter.
