Only the second game in the Super League for these teams and it's all to play for here at Nkoloma Stadium as Red Arrows welcomes Kitwe United. Check out this preview!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Super League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Green Buffaloes.
Red Arrows form and stats
An away draw last time out for Arrows, facing Green Buffaloes in a game that ended 0-0.
Last season, Red Arrows's league statistics were 11 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 10th position in the Super League. Over these 27 matches they scored 26 goals and conceded 28. Playing at home last season Red Arrows managed 6-1-6 (win-draw-lost) with 12 goals and 15 conceded.
Kitwe United form and stats
It's a growing despair in Kitwe United as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Kitwe United manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground Garden Park. Kitwe suffered a 0-3 loss to Prison Leopards (placed 1st). A 0-3 defeat away at ZESCO United before that.
Let's have a look at how Kitwe United performed last season in the Super League: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 14 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 37 and conceded 38 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 7 and lost 8 with 16/20 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last six meetings: three - one - two (Red Arrows wins - draws - Kitwe United wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Red Arrows missing players
