Bet on a draw
Zambia may have won Afcon in 2012 but they have largely been poor at the tournament since then. This should be a very physical and boring game with the ball largely being confined to the midfield. In the end, I expect both teams to score at least once but this game will end in a largely dull draw. It should not be a game to remember.
Interestingly, it is actually Congo who are ahead of the Zambians on the FIFA rankings. Congo are ranked 67 while Zambia are 84.
Bet on both teams to score
Both teams have decent attacks but defences which can be leaky at times. In the end, this game should produce chances for both teams with each team scoring at least once. The teams will score but will also waste a lot of chances.
Bet on a 1-1 draw
A draw in this game is a safe bet. Both teams have different styles of play which will lead to the game being confined to midfield for large segments. In the end, both teams will make a lot of mistakes but also fail to capitalize upon their advantages when they get them. Both teams have a lot of potential but it is the small things that they get wrong which separate them from the best teams in Africa. This game will end in a dull draw.
