LUMWANA, Zambia (Interstat) — Two Zambian Super League sides heading in opposite directions will meet Sunday when Lumwana Radiants host a struggling Chambishi FC at Lumwana Football Pitch.

The Week 27 fixture presents a stark contrast in form. The home Radiants, despite a 5-1 loss to Kabwe Warriors last Sunday, had won their two prior matches. Their season highlights include a 7-3 rout of Buildcon and a 4-0 victory over powerhouse ZESCO United in November.

Chambishi, meanwhile, arrives reeling from a historic defeat, a 6-1 thrashing at Forest Rangers also last Sunday. That result is part of a dismal pattern for the visitors, who have been outscored 25-1 across their last four league matches, including a 9-0 loss at Nchanga Rangers on March 15. Their only recent positive result was a 2-0 win over Nkana, but that match was played on the same date as the Forest Rangers loss, indicating a data conflict in the provided records.

Statistical models heavily favor the Radiants. Interstat’s game simulator projects a narrow 1-0 victory for Lumwana, while its ELO rating system gives the hosts a 65.1% probability of winning.

The match will be a brief home stand for Lumwana Radiants, who travel to face Green Buffaloes in their next scheduled league outing. For Chambishi, the schedule shows a chance to regroup at home next against Nkwazi, though their immediate concern is stopping the defensive hemorrhaging on the road.

Kickoff is set for Sunday afternoon in Lumwana.
