On Tuesday, Zambia hosts Comoros in their second Africa Cup of Nations qualification match at the National Heroes Stadium. The home team is coming off a loss last time out, while the visitors are looking to start the qualifications with back-to-back triumphs.
On Friday, Zambia lost 3-1 to the Elephants of Ivory Coast at the Stade de Yamoussoukro in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Before Patson Daka’s injury-time goal, Aljosa Asanovic’s team had a mountain to climb after three straight goals from Serge Aurier, Christian Kouame, and Ibrahim Sangare.
