Mufulira Wanderers are aiming to break their winless streak and kickstart the second round of the MTN FAZ Super League in style with a victory away to Green Buffaloes on Friday. The Mighty Abena Milambo, who won promotion back to the top flight last season, enjoyed a decent start to life in the Super League. However, their last five games of the first round saw them falter, dropping points with three losses and two draws. Their final fixture before the break was a frustrating 1-1 stalemate against league leaders Zesco United. Wanderers' last win came in Week 11, a narrow 2-1 victory over Napsa Stars at Shinde Stadium. Friday's encounter presents a crucial opportunity to get their season back on track, but they face a Green Buffaloes side desperate for consistency themselves. The Buffaloes have endured their own struggles this season, managing just one win in their last six league games. However, they managed to scrape past bottom-placed Trident FC 2-0 in their final outing before the break, injecting a much-needed dose of confidence. Both teams will be eager to capitalize on the new beginnings of the second round and improve their league positions. A win for Wanderers would not only end their winless run but also complete a double over Green Buffaloes, following their 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture in Mufulira. With just a single point separating the two sides in the table (Wanderers on 21 points, Buffaloes on 20), Friday's clash promises to be a tight and tense affair. Both teams will be hungry for three points, making it a must-watch encounter for any Super League fan. The match kicks off at 15:00 on Friday to be staged at Edwin Imboela Stadium in Lusaka.
