Lumwana Radiants vs ZESCO tips and predictions

ZESCO price is a turn-off

There's not much between Lumwana Radiants and ZESCO in the Super League. The hosts are in 16th place with 22 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 26 points.

There's not much up for grabs in the match winner odds and the short price for ZESCO makes them a no-bet. Lumwana Radiants don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors honest. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go crazy about.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Not giving much away on their own paddock, Lumwana Radiants have conceded at an average of just 0.5 goals per game over their last 8 matches. Meanwhile ZESCO have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 games.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 2 of the last 6 have ended in parity.

The betting markets suggest that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet because of the favouritism for ZESCO. If it plays out as expected then the No BTTS bet could be decent.

Lumwana Radiants have drawn 8 of their last 20 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 0-0 with Power Dynamos at home earlier this month. ZESCO have drawn 8 of their last 17 matches. Their most recent tied match was when they drew with Nkwazi last Sunday and while the prediction is for any draw, a scoreline of 0-0 shouldn't be dismissed here. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be wary of but the draw is food for thought. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
