Zambian giants Zesco United will switch attention to the CAF Confederations Cup, where they will be hosting South African side Kaizer Chiefs. The two clash in Group D as they both seek their first win, with Zesco being at the bottom of the group and Chiefs third. Read on to find our prediction of this match.
Both domestically and in Africa, Zesco isn’t having a great season. In Zambia, they are seventh, 13 points adrift of the league leaders. Continentally, they’ve suffered straight defeats in the opening two rounds.
At home in the last round, Zesco suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Egyptian side Al Masry. They go into this match off the back of a 1-0 win at home against Kabwe.
Kaizer Chiefs' campaign in this competition commenced with a 2-1 loss to Al Masry. They recovered on Matchday 2, benefiting from a late own goal to draw 1-1 with Zamalek at home.
Like Zesco, the South Africans are also coming off a win domestically. They beat Golden Arrows 1-0 to bring to an end a run of four winless outings.
One area Chiefs will take pride in going into this match is their defence. They haven't conceded a goal in the last three matches and have, in total, kept six clean sheets in the last 10 matches.

Both Zesco United and Kaizer Chiefs will go into this game desperate for a first win in this competition. Playing at home will have Zesco looking at this as a winnable game, as they come here unbeaten in four home matches.
Strengthening this feeling will be their head-to-head advantage, with Zesco having beaten Chiefs in their previous two meetings in 2019. Aside from that, what could almost be guaranteed here is a low-scoring game, with both sides seemingly struggling on that front. Our oprediction for Zesco United v Kaizer Chiefs is for less than 2.5 goals.
