THE PREDICTION

Zambia are aiming for a big improvement here against Botswana after suffering a very poor start to their qualification campaign last November with back-to-back defeats against Algeria and Zimbabwe. Since those games Micho Sredojevich has taken charge, and the new head coach has overseen three consecutive friendly match wins. A match against goal-shy Botswana represents a good opportunity for them to make it four successive wins, as the visitors have not found the net in their last six outings. Botswana are a very stubborn team defensively though, and it’s quite possible that they will frustrate the home team. The best option here might be found in the total goals market - under 2.5 goals looks to be good value.
