Zambia vs Tanzania Prediction: Expect goals from both teams

Levy Mwanawasa Stadium will host the World Cup qualifying encounter between Zambia and Tanzania. I will look into this encounter and make a prediction.

Zambia

Zambia will hope they can step up to the test against their neighboring nation following a defeat to Morocco last time out. In that game, Zambia conceded a penalty, which Hakim Ziyech beautifully dispatched just 6 minutes into the match, before a 67th Eliesse Ben Seghir strike in the second half. However, Zambia were able to pull one back in the 80th minute through Edward Chilufya's attempt but that was not enough to see them take a point in that game. Heading into this game, Zambia have won one, drew one and lost three of their last five games.

Tanzania

Tanzania settled for a goalless draw in their last encounter against Indonesia in a friendly encounter. In the meantime, this team's games in the World Cup qualifier saw them defeat Niger while losing to Morocco. In their last matches however, Tanzania have won two and lost two, while three ended in draws. In the Group E standings of the World Cup standings, Tanzania have three points, leaving them seated 4th.

Expert Betting Tips

Zambia at home are expected to win this encounter, but that won't be my first pick. The visiting Tanzania have been a threat to big sides, and looking at how the previous meetings of this fixture ended, both teams are tipped to get on the scoresheet here.
