LKS defeated Mzamane 2:0 at home in the fourth round of the Premier League regular season on Tuesday. The visitors took all three points from the fixture, extending their unbeaten run to two wins from four matches played this term.
Mzamane sit thirteenth in the table with three points from four games, while LKS occupy sixth place on six points. The gap between them remains clear, and this result only widened it.
and here's the thing, we had called for the away side to win with moderate confidence before kickoff. The prediction held up, though not without qualification — LKS had been inconsistent in recent outings, losing two of their last three fixtures before this one.
Mzamane's recent form offers little comfort. They dropped points against Villa with a 1:0 win, then suffered heavy defeats to Lioli and Lya batho, the latter ending 8:0. Their only victory this season came against Villa, and even that was narrow.
LKS have shown more variety. A 2:1 win over Machoha and a 3:0 victory against University Limkokwing sit alongside two losses, including a 5:1 drubbing by Bantu. The inconsistency is there, but so is the capacity to score.
What this means is straightforward: LKS keep pace with the teams above them, while Mzamane drift further from the middle of the pack. The goal difference tells its own story for both sides.
