Prediction: 1-1
Ivory Coast
All eyes will be on Levy Mwanawasa Stadium when Zambia and Ivory Coast go head to head in the Group H derby. Zambia are one point away from securing their spot at the next year’s tournament in Ivory Coast and we are positive that they will adopt a cautious approach in Saturday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home side will be Leicester City attacker Patson Daka, who scored a brace in a 2-0 win over Lesotho.
The Elephants, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the standings. Considering that they are one point clear of Zambia ahead of the Group H derby, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. It has to be noted that the visitors will be without the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Wilfried Zaha, Sebastien Haller, and Seko Fofana in Saturday’s encounter. Amad Diallo is yet another absentee in the away team.
