About to get equal chance for revenge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rematch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chance for revenge' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'about to get equal' is the wordplay.
'about to get' becomes 're' (I've seen this in other clues).
'equal' becomes 'match' (synonyms).
're'+'match'='REMATCH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rematch that I've seen before include "new bout" , "Later encounter" , "Return game" , "Return fixture" , "Another game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
