Zambia Analysis

The Zambian national team is in fine form after winning their last two games. The two victories ended their four-game winless streak, which saw them lose three games and draw one.

Nevertheless, the Zambian side is second-placed in group H of the AFCON qualification phase, with 9 points from four matches.

Besides their wins against Lesotho and Comoros, Zambia lost 3-1 to Ivory Coast in the opening match of the group.

The next AFCON host, Ivory Coast, is heading into this match in solid form. From their last five games in all competitions, the national team has three wins, a draw, and one loss.

During this time, the African side scored 8 goals while conceding three. Though two clean sheets aren’t very impressive, the team has been in solid form defensively.

Their recent loss came against Algeria back in January in the quarter-finals of the African Nations Championship. The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Algeria after a late stoppage-time penalty, which Mahious scored.
