I believe the answer is:

return match

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

'back in chance for revenge' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'give striker' is the wordplay.
'give' becomes 'return' (returning is a kind of giving).
'striker' becomes 'match' (a match can be struck).
'return'+'match'='RETURN MATCH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for return match that I've seen before include "Opportunity to avenge defeat" , "Game of football" , "Second game of two" , "second contest" , "chance to reverse earlier defeat" .)
