Tanzania vs Zambia Prediction

Tanzania come into this one on the back of a qualifying campaign in which they had collected nine points from their opening five matches before a disappointing defeat to Niger last month was followed up by a very average performance in a goalless draw with The Congo a few days’ later.

The Zambians, on the other hand, still have a slight chance of finishing second and giving themselves a chance of making the intercontinental playoffs, with two victories and four defeats. They most recently suffered a 2-0 defeat to the extremely strong Moroccans due to goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Hamza Igamane.

Zambia and Tanzania have both got a shout of finishing a distant second to Morocco but they could well cancel each other out and open the door for Niger this week.
