Zambia vs Comoros Prediction and Betting Tips | 9th July 2023

Zambia and Comoros face off at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban, South Africa on Sunday in 2023 COSAFA Cup action.

The teams witnessed contrasting fortunes in their respective opening games.

The Copper Bullets of Zambia went down 1-0 to Malawi on matchday one. An own goal by Aaron Katebe was enough to sink them and leave them pointless after the first game.

Head coach Moses Sichone could make a few changes to his lineup after such a toothless display as another setback could seriously jeopardize their chances of progressing.

On the other hand, Comoros cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Seychelles. Affane Djambae opened the scoring for the Coelacanths 27 minutes into the game, while Ibroihim Djoudja doubled their advantage 12 minutes later.

In the 59th minute, Raidou Bacar added a third as Seychelles, the lowest-ranked side at the tournament, were no match for Vivian Bothe's side.

As things stand in Group B, Comoros are currently leading the charge, ahead of Malawi on goal difference. Another victory this weekend would all but seal their place in the knockout stages. Zambia, meanwhile, are in third without a point, avoiding the bottom place only by virtue of goal difference.

Zambia have a terrific record in the fixture but their recent form hasn't been the best. Comoros, meanwhile, are riding a wave of confidence after their resounding opening-day cup win and could be considered the favorites here.

Mind you, they have never beaten the Copper Bullets before, but this could be the greatest opportunity for them to break the jinx.
