Latest Botswana vs Zambia football prediction

Botswana have failed to get past the group stage in the last two COSAFA Cups, even finishing bottom of their group in the last edition.

However, coach Morena Ramoreboli's team still has a chance to end that poor run of form if they win by two goals or more against Zambia, after a goalless draw with Comoros in their opening match.

Placed in one of two groups of just three teams at this year's tournament, Botswana currently has one point, three behind Comoros – who have completed their group stage matches.

The team nicknamed “Zebras” have struggled against Zambia in the past, winning just four of their 26 matches in all competitions, losing 15. However, their recent form may give them added confidence in their ability to pull off a surprise.

In their last seven games in all competitions, Botswana have won three, drawn three and lost just one – a defeat to Algeria in a World Cup qualifier in March.

Zambia go into this match looking to redeem themselves after a disappointing opening-game performance, losing 0-1 to Comoros.

The Chipolopolo conceded after more than 30 minutes of play and despite controlling the game and the number of shots, they still could not score in a disappointing performance.

After winning the COSAFA Cup two years in a row in 2022 and 2023, Zambia were expected to continue their dominance of last year’s tournament. However, they were a huge disappointment, being eliminated in the group stage without scoring a single goal or collecting a single point – something they are determined not to repeat this year.

Coach Wedson Nyirenda's team are now out of the semi-finals, four points behind Comoros with just one game in hand. However, they are still aiming to close the tournament with a positive performance against their regional rivals.

Zambia have a decent record against Botswana in the COSAFA Cup, with two wins and a draw in their last three meetings in the competition. However, a run of two consecutive defeats in all competitions before this game has raised questions about their current form.
