Napsa Stars and Forest Rangers will go head to head in a crucial encounter at Heroes Stadium today. Both teams have a lot at stake in this game, making it a must-win for either side. For Napsa Stars, a win is imperative as they seek to keep their hopes of continental football alive next season. Currently, in fourth place with 49 points, they are just a point behind FC Muza, who occupy the second spot for continental football. With just two games left in the season, Napsa Stars will be keen to grab all three points and keep their chances of a top-two finish alive. On the other hand, Forest Rangers are also fighting for continental football and would be eager to pick up a win that would boost their morale heading into the Absa Cup final next weekend. In their last two games, they failed to record a win, losing one and drawing the other, and will be looking to get back to winning ways in this fixture. In their head-to-head encounters, Napsa Stars and Forest Rangers have been evenly matched, with each team winning seven games apiece and five games ending in draws in their last 19 meetings. This makes the game even more exciting and unpredictable. Both teams have key players that will be instrumental in their quest for victory. For Forest Rangers, Moyela Libamba has been in excellent form this campaign, having already scored double figures of goals. Although he is currently going through a rough patch and has failed to find the back of the net in recent games, he will be eager to return to scoring goals, especially in the build-up to the Absa Cup final next weekend against FC Muza. For Napsa Stars, Musonda Kapembwa has been the main man this season, leading the goal-scoring chart for the team. With just two games left in the season, he will be looking to increase his tally against Forest Rangers and finish the campaign on a high note. In a pre-match interview, Napsa Stars head coach Perry Mutapa expressed confidence ahead of the game, acknowledging the tough challenge they are about to face against a well-prepared Forest Rangers team. Overall, this promises to be an exciting encounter between two evenly matched sides, with a lot at stake for both teams.
