Match Result Prediction: Zambia to win
Zambia have a pretty formidable home record after having picked up a victory in three out of the last four matches on home soil. Congo might have picked up away wins over the likes of South Sudan, but they are in very poor shape nonetheless. Congo have not been in action since September and they may not be at the peak of condition unlike Zambia, who picked up a big win over Uganda in the recent home game. Zambia should be able to pick up a win over the hosts.
Total Goals Prediction: Total goals over 2.5
Zambia have been able to find more than 2.5 goals in three of the last four matches on home soil. Congo have not been in action for more than two months. However, they have had good form so far in 2023. Whenever these two teams have met each other in recent times – as recently as in March 2022, there have been plenty of goals.
BTTS Prediction: Goals from both teams – yes
There have been goals at both ends of the page when these two teams have gone up against each other in the last decade. In fact, out of the five meetings between Zambia and Congo, only one match has produced a clean sheet and this was back in 2005. After having had goals from both teams in recent matches, they are sufficiently confident coming into the game.
