The visiting Green Eagles side should be favourites in this visit to Lumwana Radiants, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 33 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Lumwana Radiants have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Super League
  • Green Eagles have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (9) in Super League

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams have little in common geographically as Green Eagles have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

For Radiants relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Eagles is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
