Zambia vs Ivory Coast: Africa Cup of Nations Qualification Match Prediction

Current form

Zambia are on a three-match unbeaten streak, with wins over Sierra Leone (3-2) and Chad (1-0), and a goalless draw against Chad. The upcoming opponent is of a completely different caliber, so it will be difficult to compete for points in this encounter, at least in theory.

Last year the teams played each other at this stadium, and then the hosts of the upcoming match confidently won with a score of 3:0. This time it will be a great achievement if they manage to at least not lose.

Disqualifications and injuries

There are no injured players in the team.

Interesting trends for betting

• Zambia are unbeaten in their last three matches.
• Zambia have failed to even score in three of their last five matches

Estimated line-up: Nsabata - Mhande, Mwape. Chongo, Chisala - Bande, Sakala, Tshepesi - Kangwa, Musonda. Kampamba.

Current form

Ivory Coast is one of the strongest teams in Africa, which is striving to regain its former glory. In the current qualifying tournament, the team has demonstrated impressive results. The exception is the last match, when there was a defeat to Sierra Leone (0:1), and before that there was an 11-match unbeaten streak. Despite the failure in the last match, bookmakers still put the guests as the favorites, and it is difficult to disagree with this assumption.

Disqualifications and injuries

All football players are in action.

Interesting trends for betting

• Ivory Coast have won three of their last five away matches
• The visitors have scored in three of their last four matches.

Probable line-up: Fofana - Doue, Bailly, Agbadou, Operi - Dorgels, Seri, Kessie - Kouassi, Diakite, Traore.
