ZESCO United vs Mutondo Stars preview

In the Zambia Super League fixture, ZESCO United has a 69% chance of winning against Mutondo Stars, who have an 11% chance. The most likely scoreline is 2-0, with a 12% probability. ZESCO United's expected goals are 2.21, while Mutondo Stars sit at 0.79.

However, ZESCO United's recent form shows inconsistency with 2 wins in their last 6 matches. Mutondo Stars, despite their lower probabilities, have shown some resilience with a recent win and a draw. This could challenge the expectation of a straightforward victory for ZESCO United, particularly if both teams manage to score, with a 49% chance of that happening.
