Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Zambia play host to Equatorial Guinea at National Heroes Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting World Cup qualifier. Zambia are eager to get their revenge on Equatorial Guinea for the 2-0 loss in Malabo, but they will have to do it without suspended attacker Prince Mumba. The Copper Bullets failed to find the net in the previous two group games, and, no doubt, they are going to leave their hearts on the field this time out.
The National Thunder, on the other hand, will wait for their chance on the break. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards in Lusaka, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. A man to watch in the away side will be Emiliano Nsue, who played for the likes of Birmingham City, Middlesbrough, and Mallorca in the past.
