Forest Rangers vs Red Arrows Prediction: An open contest for both sides

In the third round of the Zambia Super League, Forest Rangers and Red Arrows will meet at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. The home club comes into this match having played Zanaco to a draw on the road, while the Red Arrows picked up a win in their opening encounter of the season against Nkana.

The previous games that Forest Rangers played resulted in one victory for the team against Kabwe Warriors, two defeats at the hands of Power Dynamos and ZESCO United, and two draws against NAPSA Stars and Zanaco. Kabwe Warriors were the team that Forest Rangers defeated. During those games, the Forest Rangers were only able to score three goals while allowing five goals. During the current league season, the Forest Rangers have averaged one goal scored in each game they have participated in. With two games under their belt and four points to their name, the Forest Rangers are now in sixth place in the league rankings. This season, the Forest Rangers have maintained an average possession of the ball of 52.50 percent, which indicates that they are good at keeping the ball.

Red Arrows come into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against Power Dynamos and Nkana, lost none of them, and drawn three of their most recent five matches against Nkwazi, Lumwana Radiants, and Green Eagles. During that stretch of games, the away team scored eleven goals while only allowing six to be scored against them. The squad was shown a total of 2 yellow cards but none of the more serious red cards, and they were called for a total of 23 fouls. The Red Arrows have very strong ball possession, as evidenced by their overall average of 53.00% thus far this season. Even though they have only played one game so far in the league this season, the Red Arrows are already comfortably positioned in 10th place in the rankings of the Zambia Super League with three points.

Both the Forest Rangers and the Red Arrows have a strong head-to-head record, having competed against one another 30 times over the course of the previous seasons. The Forest Rangers have emerged victorious in only five of those contests, while the Red Arrows have prevailed in eight of those contests. There were 17 games that were decided by a tie. In the head-to-head matchups, the Forest Rangers scored 27 goals, while the Red Arrows managed to score 38 goals.

It is anticipated that this match will be a very close contest, one that will be difficult, and one that will end with a close result. We have seen a number of draws in their prior matchups, which is particularly notable given the fact that three out of their most recent four matches ended with the same result. While the Red Arrows have not been defeated recently, the Forest Rangers have exhibited a pattern of erratic performance. The Forest Rangers, on the other hand, should be able to score a goal of their own because the game is being played on their home field. Additionally, given that the Red Arrows have been the superior team as of late, "a draw, no bet" appears to be another viable alternative that should be taken into consideration.
