ZESCO United vs Red Arrows Prediction: League battle is dependent on this game

Levy Mwanawasa Stadium will host the Zambia Super League encounter between ZESCO United and Red Arrows. Heading into this game, the two teams are in good contention for winning the league and will hope to get the best of results. Which team wins this one? Below, I provide match previews and offer the best betting opportunities. 

ZESCO United

ZESCO United played Mufulira the previous weekend and they pulled off a 0-1 win. In that encounter, this team was held to a goalless draw after the break, but an 88th-minute Samson Ngoma strike was enough to see them end on the winning end. In the meantime, ZESCO United have not lost their last nine matches. In those matches, the home side defeated Mutondo Stars, Green Eagles, and Nkana while settling for draws in other encounters. This season, ZESCO United have picked up 43 points from their first 23 matches, leaving them top of the standings. 

Red Arrows

Red Arrows played Mutondo Stars the previous time out in the league and could only settle for a goalless draw. However, this team extended their unbeaten run to eleven with that result, where they won five times. In that run, Red Arrows defeated Lumwana Radiants, Power Dynamos, Forest Rangers, Indeni, and Atl. Lusaka. However, other encounters saw this team draw Mufulira, Zanaco, Green Buffaloes, FC MUZA, and Kabwe Warriors. Having played 23 matches this season, Red Arrows have accumulated 39 points, positioning them 4th in the Super League.
