Red Arrows Vs Nkana
Nkoloma Stadium
15:00hrs
Two of the Super League’s elite sides lock horns at Nkoloma Stadium on Saturday afternoon, as Nkana take Red Arrows in a fixture that tends to provide goals aplenty. We have had 37 goals in the last 17 games played between these sides and Red Arrows have scored more (27) than Nkana (16). And actually Red Arrows lead on wins having picked 8 and drawn five. Nkana has 4 wins in the 17 games.
After getting their campaign firmly back on track with three successive wins and one draw in the last six games, Nkana will hope to keep the momentum going as we wind up the season with the objective of playing CAF games next season.
With four games to play before the end of the season, Honor Janza can start evaluating his season at Red Arrows and see if it has been success or he has failed.
Generally Red Arrows have improved compared to the past two seasons and credit should be given to Janza who didn’t have enough chance to bring in as many players as possible. He has done well under the circumstances. But still the challenge is the inconsistence of draws that have left Red Arrows in the middle table for most of the period of the season.
Nkana look good going forward and without a doubt if there is one team suited for a win in this encounter is Nkana and they will do it if Red Arrows will continue with the pressure that they put themselves in home games.
Ronald Kampamba, Walter Bwalya, Shadreck Musonda and of course Diego Apanene are the players Red Arrows will be looking around on the pitch. Nkana could go second with a win if Zanaco lose in Kitwe to Power Dynamos and Green Buffaloes lose to Buuldcon.
I think this will be the sixth draw in the 18 games between these two sides.
Prediction: Red Arrows 1-1 Nkana
