Nchanga Rangers vs ZESCO United Prediction: ZESCO hopeful of returning to winning ways

At Nchanga Stadium, Nchanga Rangers will play ZESCO United in the round 5 encounter of the Zambia Super League. The two teams enter this game following a draw in their last league match. Which of these teams will return to winning ways here?

Nchanga Rangers' last league game was against Mutondo Stars, and this team could only take a point at full-time. In that game, Maxwell Mulutula's strike in the 38th minute put Nchanga Rangers in the lead. However, a 53rd-minute own goal by Sharpy Chikondi denied this team maximum points. Heading into this game, Nchanga Rangers have accumulated seven points from their possible 12 this season and sit second.

ZESCO United's impressive wins ended against Nkwazi the previous time out, and they will look to get back to winning ways. In that encounter, ZESCO United had to come from behind to take a point after Emmanuel Chabula's strike had put Nkwazi in the lead, thanks to David Simulonda's 56th-minute strike. However, the visiting team still leads the Zambia Super League standings with 10 points. In their last matches, ZESCO United have three wins and two draws. 

The two teams have been impressive in the league this season, and they will look to keep things going. However, ZESCO United have been the better side in this fixture over the years, but I do not see them having an easy task on the road against Nchanga Rangers, who are in good form. Regardless, the two teams have a good chance of scoring, but ZESCO have been excellent in tough matches like this and should win here.
