Team Reviews
Zambia (Rank 87, 4th in Group B, 0 points in 2024 COSAFA)
Form: Disastrous 2024 COSAFA campaign (0W-0D-3L, 0 goals scored, 5 conceded), exiting group stage without a point. Recent World Cup qualifiers: 2W-1D-3L, including 2-0 friendly win vs. Jordan.
Strengths: Seven-time COSAFA champions (most titles) with a strong home record. Coach Wedson Nyirenda relies on young talents like Albert Kangwanda and Frederick Mulambia. Playing at Toyota Stadium, South Africa, boosts morale.
Weaknesses: Poor recent COSAFA form and goal drought (no goals in 2024). Defensive lapses (7 goals conceded in last 6 competitive matches). Key defender Killian Kanguluma is suspended.
Key Players: Kangwanda (scored in 2023 vs. Comoros), Mulambia, Victor Chabu (GK).

Comoros (Rank 117, 1st in Group B, 3 points in 2024 COSAFA)
Form: Best-ever COSAFA finish (4th in 2024) after 1-0 win vs. Zambia and 2-0 vs. Kenya. World Cup qualifiers: 3W-0D-1L, second in group (+4 goal difference).
Strengths: Ibroihim Youssouf’s scoring form (1 goal vs. Zambia in 2024) and a solid defense (4 goals conceded in 4 qualifiers). Coach Stefano Cusin’s counter-attacking style suits their underdog status.
Weaknesses: Limited COSAFA experience and no wins vs. Zambia before 2024. Away games at neutral venues (Toyota Stadium) reduce home advantage.
Key Players: Youssouf, Affane Djambae (brace vs. Kenya), Ahmed Fadjidou (GK).

Head-to-Head Analysis
Record: 4 matches since 2011; Zambia won 3 (7 goals), Comoros won 1 (4 goals), 0 draws. Zambia won 2-1 in 2023 (Mulambia, Kangwanda; Djambae for Comoros); Comoros won 1-0 in 2024 (Youssouf).
Trends: Matches are tight, with 3 of 4 under 2.5 goals. Comoros’ 2024 win ended Zambia’s H2H dominance, but Zambia’s historical edge remains. Both teams scored in 2 of 4 games.

Prediction: Zambia 1-1 Comoros
Zambia, desperate to restore pride after 2024’s group-stage exit, face Comoros, who seek to repeat their upset. Played at Toyota Stadium, South Africa (6:00 PM local time). Only the group winner advances. Zambia’s experience and attacking intent (Kangwanda, Mulambia) face Comoros’ resilient defense and counter-attacks. Comoros’ recent H2H win boosts confidence, but Zambia’s historical dominance and urgency suggest a response. A low-scoring draw is likely, as both teams struggle for goals in COSAFA. Zambia’s need to bounce back meets Comoros’ newfound confidence. Kangwanda may score, but Youssouf’s threat keeps it level. Recent H2H and COSAFA trends (2.14 goals per game) support a tight draw.
