Chad and Zambia lock horns at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in neutral Cameroon on Tuesday for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Both teams are currently winless in their campaign and running out of time to salvage their progression hopes.
Despite failing to score a single goal in three games, Les Sao are in third place with two points. That's because they drew to Sierra Leone and Zambia in a pair of goalless stalemates, coming on either side of a 2-0 defeat to Ivory Coast.
Ranked 177th in the world, Kevin Nicaise's side are one of the weakest in the world. Although their hopes of making their AFCON debut at next year's Moroccan showpiece are not over yet, with second-placed Zambia only two points above them, the north African side must start winning sooner rather than later to stand a chance of finishing inside the top two.
Trending
For Zambia, it's been a stop-start run. After the 2-0 loss to Ivory Coast in their opening game, the Copper Bullets beat Sierra Leone before holding Les Sao to a draw this week.
Their tally of four points put them just behind Ivory Coast, who have a 100% win record so far, although the race is tight right now, and they can ill-afford to lose.
Chad vs Zambia Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been three clashes between the sides in the past, with the Chipolopolo going unbeaten in all of them.
- Les Sao lost the first fixture 2-0 back in September 2006, but their next two were draws: 1-1 in June 2007 and 0-0 in October 2024.
- Kevin Nicaise's side are winless in their last five games, failing to score in each of them.
- The Copper Bullets have won just once from their last eight games: a 3-2 win over Sierra Leone in the ongoing qualifiers.
Chad vs Zambia Prediction
Les Sao have looked toothless in their last few games, which has cost them big time in these qualifiers.
Unless that improves, they don't stand a chance here. Zambia were held on Friday, but should be able to pick up a win this time.
Prediction: Chad 0-2 Zambia
