South Africa vs Zambia prediction

Under the management of Hugo Broos, administrative issues led to a points deduction, which nearly tripped South Africa up in a topsy turvy qualifying campaign. However, Bafana Bafana eventually wrestled top spot back in their group in CAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ahead of the likes of Benin and African giants Nigeria.

Zambia have decided to part company with former Chelsea boss Avram Grant after yet another underwhelming year or so. The Zambians eventually succumbed to fourth spot in one of the easier groups in African qualifying, having most recently suffered a 1-0 loss to Niger last month.

Zambia do not have too much quality across the park and South Africa, as they begin an excited build-up to next summer, will be firm favourites for this one.

South Africa vs Zambia tip: South Africa to win to nil
