CFFA vs LijabathoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

This is a knockout preliminary round, so there is no table to lean on. CFFA arrive after a difficult run: 1-2 away at Royal Leopards and 2-3 against the same opponents at home, preceded by a 0-3 home defeat to Interclube. For a positive result you have to go back to a 2-1 away win at Kabwe Warriors and a goalless home draw with the same side. Lijabatho come in with the opposite trend: four wins and one draw in their last five outings, the widest being an 8-0 home win over Mzamane, then 1-0 away at Matlama, 4-0 at home against Lioli and 2-0 at LMPS. Their most recent game, away to Majantja, finished goalless. There are no previous meetings between the two clubs. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
