Join on Telegram DR Congo will look to keep their CHAN 2024 hopes alive when they take on Zambia in their second Group A fixture at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.
Kick-off is at 2 pm Morocco time (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on BeIN Sports, RTNC in DR Congo and ZNBC in Zambia.
The Leopards suffered a 1-0 defeat to hosts Kenya in their opening match, conceding just before half-time and failing to respond. With only the top two from the five-team group advancing, another loss would leave their qualification chances hanging by a thread.
“We missed too many chances against Kenya. We absolutely must bounce back,” said DR Congo coach Otis Ngoma.
Zambia, who enter the tournament without having played a qualifying match due to Mozambique’s withdrawal, will be making their debut in this year’s competition. Their head coach, Avram Grant, is focused on a solid start.
“It’s a great opportunity for our players. We’re banking on our strengths above all,” said the former Chelsea and Ghana manager.
Prediction:
DR Congo will be more aggressive but could struggle again in the final third. Zambia’s discipline and freshness may be enough to earn them a point.
