Game Preview
Zambia will be competing against Tanzania in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations match scheduled for Sunday, January 21st.
Zambia is gearing up for this upcoming match after a 1-1 draw against DR Congo in the Africa Cup of Nations. During the match, Zambia had 44% possession and attempted 3 shots on goal, with 1 hitting the target, Kings Kangwa (23′) was the sole scorer for Zambia. On the other hand, DR Congo had 25 shots on goal, with 6 of them being on target. Yoane Wissa (27′) brought things even for DR Congo.
After a disappointing performance in their previous match against Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations, Tanzania’s faithful are eager for a more favorable outcome in their upcoming game. In the previous encounter, Tanzania had 48% possession and attempted 2 shots on goal, unfortunately failing to hit the target as a whole. On the contrary, Morocco had 14 shots at goal, with 7 of them finding their mark. Romain Saïss (30′), Azzedine Ounahi (77′), and Youssef En-Nesyri (80′) were the goal scorers for Morocco.
Arguably both sides come from facing extremely strong opponents within the AFCON ranks, especially Tanzania. However Zambia’s resilience and work rate on the ball was evident against DR Congo, with them ultimately being able to edge a draw under tough circumstances. This should provide some confidence to the boys in red and yellow against an “easier” opponent in Tanzania.
It appears that Tanzania poses a significant threat to the Zambia lineup, and they may have the ability to find some pockets of space. However sadly, it is unlikely that this alone will be sufficient to prevent a defeat. We expect a closely contested match, with Zambia emerging as the victors with a 2-1 scoreline at the end of regulation time.
