Red Arrows vs Forest Rangers Prediction: The visiting team will continue to struggle

In round 16 of the Zambia Super League, Red Arrows will play Forest Rangers at Nkoloma Stadium. In their last meeting, Red Arrows secured a win in this venue. How will Forest Rangers approach this fixture?

Red Arrows

Red Arrows were brilliant against Indeni the previous weekend on the road and will hope for a similar outcome. In a game that ended 1-2, Red Arrows netted in the 12th minute to take the lead through Ricky Banda's strike. However, a 55th-minute strike by Brian Chilimina was enough to see this side seal maximum points despite Titus Bwalya's strike for his side in the 72nd minute. However, the Red Arrows head into this game with an unbeaten run of three matches, while they lost once in their last five games. 

Forest Rangers

Forest Rangers' last league game was against Mufulira, and they lost. In a match that ended 0-1, a 19th-minute strike from Clive Biyeta strike in the 19th minute was enough to seal a win for his side. However, this team has suffered defeats in their last five games, coming against Nkwazi, Nkana, Green Eagles, and Nchanga Rangers. In fact, Forest Rangers have failed to win their last eight league games, picking two draws in that run. This season, Forest Rangers have 13 points from 15 games, leaving them seated 16th. 

Expert Betting Tips

Forest Rangers will continue to struggle in this fixture, and I do not see them pulling any surprising performance on the road. While the Red Arrows have been at the top level in their last home games, I believe they have a good chance of winning this one. However, while this could be a tight scoreline, a 2-0 win for the home side is still a very good option to consider, as I believe they will dominate this game from the start.
