Match Preview and Key Details
Zambia enters this match with 1 point from their opening draw, holding 3rd in Group A behind Morocco and Mali. Comoros, with 0 points after a 2-goal defeat, needs a win to stay alive. The venue, Stade Mohammed V, has hosted major AFCON games, setting the stage for high stakes.
Head-to-head records show competitiveness: Comoros beat Zambia 1-0 in July 2024 COSAFA Cup and 0-1 in June 2025, but Zambia won 2-1 in 2023 COSAFA and 2022 qualifiers. Recent draws like 1-1 in 2023 AFCON qualifying highlight tight contests.
Expect focus on attack momentum, possession stats, shots, and cards. Sofascore community predictions favor Zambia slightly, but Comoros' recent edge adds unpredictability.
