*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Zambia were beaten by Group E favourites Morrocco on Friday, though their haul of three points from three games has been enough to keep them in second spot behind their conquerors. The markets for Tuesday’s game have listed Zambia as 7/10 favourites. The visitors lost two of their last three meetings with the Zambians and they could toil again.

Zambia preview: Hosts to play with more attacking intent

Zambia Head Coach Avram Grant went defensive against Morrocco on Friday in a bid to frustrate their superior opponents, though his side still slipped a 2-1 defeat. A more expansive approach will be required on Tuesday, however, in a game that Zambia will expect to win.

Predicted lineup: Mulenga (GK), Mphande, Mwape, Sunzu, F. Musonda, L. Musonda, Kangwa, Chaiwa, Banda, Daka, Kampamba

Tanzania preview: Visitors could be rusty

Player to watch – Patson Daka

Patson Daka is undoubtedly the star player in Zambia’s ranks and the Leicester City attacker, who will be playing Premier League football next season after the Foxes’ recent promotion, has the skills to do some real damage against Tanzania on Tuesday.

Daka has scored against Tanzania before

25-year-old former RB Salzburg attacker Daka has scored an impressive 21 times in 46 appearances for Zambia since making his debut as a teenager back in 2015. Daka found the net against Tanzania in January and he could punish the same defence in this week’s rematch.
