Zambia vs Tanzania Prediction and Betting Tips | June 11th 2024

Zambia will face Tanzania at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The home side kicked off their qualification campaign with a 4-2 victory over Congo Republic last November but have seen results go south since then.

They were beaten 2-1 by Morocco in their last match, finding themselves two goals down before Edward Chilufya came off the bench to score a late consolation goal and open his account for the Copper Bullets.

Tanzania, meanwhile, beat Niger 1-0 in their group opener last year, with Charles M'Mombwa netting the sole goal of the game early after the restart. They were, however, beaten 2-0 by Morocco in their second group game with a red card to Novatus Miroshi all but scuppering their chances of a comeback and now find themselves fourth in Group E with three points from an obtainable six.
