ZESCO United vs Red Arrows Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips

ZESCO United host Red Arrows on 27 November 2025 at 13:00 GMT in the Zambia Super League, with Football Park’s algorithm signalling a tightly balanced but statistically favourable position for the home side. Just as in our San Lorenzo vs Velez Sarsfield Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips model example, this preview is built from over 200 weighted metrics covering team momentum, efficiency ratios, chance creation patterns, defensive reliability and match-state probability modelling.

The algorithm gives ZESCO United a 46.70 percent chance of victory, marginally ahead of Red Arrows' 26.70 percent, reflecting ZESCO’s stronger attacking expectation of 1.70 goals and their proven ability to control territorial phases at home. With an expected total of 2.60 goals, a 3-0 correct score projection, and a forecasted late surge from the hosts, this fixture offers bettors a data-driven pathway through what should be a tactical contest dominated by structural discipline and chance conversion.

ZESCO United vs Red Arrows Predictions

Football Park’s model positions ZESCO United as favourites, driven by superior goal expectation and better home-phase performance indicators. A 46.70 percent win probability is strengthened by a lower away scoring projection of 0.90 goals, suggesting that Red Arrows may struggle to create enough high-value chances to overturn the algorithm’s lean.

Key predictive indicators:

• Both Teams to Score probability: 46.70 percent
• Over 2.5 Goals probability: 55 percent
• Correct score prediction: 3-0
• Match goals expectation: 2.60

Red Arrows’ attacking metrics indicate unreliable progression through midfield zones and difficulty generating volume against sides with strong compactness profiles. ZESCO’s expected 1.70 goals show higher efficiency in final-third occupation and shot development patterns. The model anticipates a match where Red Arrows defend deep but concede pressure late.

ZESCO United vs Red Arrows Matches: Head-to-Head Analysis

This fixture has traditionally been closely contested, with Red Arrows often finding success through counter-attacking phases. However, recent history suggests a shift towards ZESCO’s dominance in home fixtures:

• 1-0 to ZESCO (Feb 2025) – Tight match with ZESCO showing superior defensive organisation.
• 1-0 to ZESCO (Nov 2023) – Low-event game emphasising ZESCO’s ability to win controlled home fixtures.
• 0-1 to Red Arrows (Aug 2022) – A rare away victory in a match defined by pressing turnovers.
• 1-2 to Red Arrows (Dec 2021) – Transition-heavy encounter with defensive lapses from ZESCO.
• 2-1 to ZESCO (Apr 2021) – More typical of this matchup: ZESCO controlling tempo and territory.

ZESCO generally remain dominant when playing at home, and their higher home scoring expectation combined with Red Arrows’ low attacking probability suggests a match leaning toward tradition rather than recent exceptions.

Best ZESCO United vs Red Arrows Betting Tips

Only Football Park’s top two highest-percentage algorithm-based selections appear below.

1. ZESCO United Win

Odds: 2.45

Supported by a strong 46.70 percent win probability, ZESCO represent the clearest value in this matchup. Their attacking expectation of 1.70 goals, combined with Red Arrows’ 0.90 projection, gives the hosts a clearly superior goal path. The model’s scenario-based analysis (including expected possession zones and sustained attacking intervals) aligns with ZESCO’s tendency to take control after halftime.

Given the relatively balanced bookmaker odds, this is Football Park’s standout angle of value.

2. Correct Score: ZESCO United 3-0

The second-strongest percentage-driven output is the model’s 3-0 correct score, emerging as the most likely margin and the most reinforced prediction across multiple simulation layers.

The model arrives at the 3-0 scoreline through:

• ZESCO’s strong late-game scoring probability
• Red Arrows’ low chance creation metrics
• A mid-match momentum line favouring ZESCO from minutes 55–75
• Below-average defensive resilience from Red Arrows in late phases

This makes the ZESCO 3-0 projection the second most reliable market based on percentage output.

ZESCO United vs Red Arrows Timeline: Predicted Match Flow

• 0–20 minutes: Cautious opening. ZESCO establish possession dominance, Red Arrows maintain shape. Limited early scoring likelihood.
• 20–45 minutes: ZESCO begin to create structured attacks. Red Arrows attempt long stretches of counter-attacking but with limited progression. Goal probability increases but remains moderate.
• 45–70 minutes: The game’s key phase. ZESCO’s strongest attacking interval emerges, consistent with their predictive scoreline. Red Arrows show their sharpest defensive vulnerabilities here.
• 70–90 minutes: The model forecasts ZESCO extending their advantage, consistent with the 3-0 projection and the low likelihood of away resistance late on.
