Red Arrows vs Kabwe Warriors Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to drop points again

In the fourteenth round of the Zambia League, the Red Arrows and Kabwe Warriors will participate in a match that will take place at Nkoloma Stadium. Having suffered a loss prior to this match, both teams will be hoping for a more successful showing in this competition. I will provide a prediction after taking a closer look at the match in the following paragraphs.

In their recent matches, Red Arrows secured only one victory against Green Buffaloes. However, they faced defeats against ZESCO United and Kansanshi Dynamos, and had draws against Konkola Blades and Power Dynamos. Throughout these games, Red Arrows scored seven goals while conceding six.

On average, Red Arrows scored 1.38 goals per match in the current league season. Disciplinary-wise, the home team received 17 yellow cards and one red card. Notably, Red Arrows excel in ball possession, maintaining an average of 51.33% possession in this season.

Kabwe Warriors approach this match with two victories in their last five games, triumphing against ZESCO United and Green Buffaloes. Unfortunately, their encounters with Kansanshi Dynamos, Green Eagles, and Zanaco concluded in defeats. Across these matches, the away team scored five goals and conceded five.

In their away games, Kabwe Warriors averaged 1.31 goals scored and 0.92 goals conceded per match. Notably, ball possession is a strength for Kabwe Warriors, boasting an impressive overall average of 51.56% possession in this season.

Both teams have encountered challenges in both their offensive and defensive performances this season, and as they enter this match, there is a collective aspiration for improvement. Anticipating a heightened emphasis on defensive strategies, both sides are likely to exert considerable effort to avoid a defeat. Consequently, in what might evolve into a low-scoring contest, Red Arrows are still predicted to capitalize on their home advantage, taking opportunities and securing a victory.
