Red Arrows vs Lumwana Radiants Prediction: Home team to return to winning ways

Nkoloma Stadium will host the Zambia Super League encounter between Red Arrows and Lumwana Radiants. Heading into this game, the last meeting between these sides ended in a 3-3 draw. How will they respond here?

Red Arrows are coming off a league defeat to Mutondo Stars, a game that ended 3-1. In that encounter, the Red Arrows were behind within ten minutes and then conceded twice in the second half, with Titus Chansa scoring a brace for his side, while Lameck Kafwaya also got on the scoresheet. However, Alassane Diarra's 64th-minute goal was all Red Arrows got in that game, being a consolation for them. This season, the Red Arrows have seven points from four matches, leaving them 12th in the standings. 

Lumwana Radiants secured their first win of the season against Indeni the last time out. Two second-half strikes from Lukupa Nester in that encounter were all Lumwana Radiants needed to secure maximum points. However, Lumwana Radiants' first four matches of the season ended in a draw with Nkana while losing three others. This season, Lumwana Radiants have scored two goals, while conceding 8. 

The home team should get things right in this fixture after a number of poor performances. While the visiting side, Lumwana Radiants, are coming off a win, I still do not see them as strong enough to win this time. The home team is the favorite here, and they have what it takes to win in a crucial encounter against a struggling side.
