Nchanga Rangers vs Chambishi

CHINGOLA, Zambia (Interstat) — Nchanga Rangers will look to leverage home advantage and recent history when they host struggling Chambishi in a Zambian Super League fixture Sunday at Nchanga Stadium.

The Week 21 matchup is a stark contrast in momentum. The Rangers, despite a 3-2 road loss to Kabwe Warriors last Sunday, had won three consecutive league matches prior, showcasing a potent attack. That includes a decisive 4-0 victory over this same Chambishi side last Nov. 9.

Chambishi arrives in Chingola mired in a deep slump. The visitors have failed to score in their last three Super League outings, including a 1-0 home loss to Buildcon on March 8 and a 5-0 thrashing by ZESCO United on Feb. 22. Their last goal came in a 2-0 win over Green Buffaloes on Nov. 2, 2025.

Statistical models favor the hosts. Interstat’s game simulator projects a narrow 1-0 victory for Nchanga Rangers, while its ELO rating system gives them a 53.70% probability of winning.

The historical record further tilts toward the Rangers, who have dominated this recent rivalry. Another win would solidify their mid-table standing and build confidence ahead of a challenging away fixture at Green Buffaloes next Sunday.

For Chambishi, the match represents a critical opportunity to halt their offensive drought and reverse a troubling pattern. Another heavy defeat could see them entrenched in the relegation battle. Their next match is not until April 12 against Maestro United Zambia, making a positive result here vital for morale.

Kickoff is set for Sunday afternoon in Chingola. The match will be played under league protocols, with both sides seeking crucial points as the season enters its final stretch.
