Seychelles vs Zambia Predictions

Seychelles have had a disappointing Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup after two consecutive losses. Zambia bounced back with a victory but must beat Seychelles decisively to keep their chances of making the semi-final alive. Zambia is predicted to win to nil.

Zambia have won 4 of their last 10 fixtures in all competitions.

Head to Head

Zambia have the edge with one victory to none against Seychelles, concluding one draw in two meetings in two World Cup qualifiers.

Seychelles Form

Seychelles were knocked out of the COSAFA Cup, losing by two goals to nil against Group B leaders Malawi last weekend.

Seychelles kept Malawi at bay in the first period but picked up two injuries in the process.

Malawi continued to press in the second half, heading home the opening goal after 55 minutes of play before doubling their lead ten minutes later to seal the victory.

They had 50% possession and two shots in the match, with only one on target.

Seychelles have registered one victory in ten attempts, including eight losses and one draw. Additionally, they have not scored in seven of their previous eight fixtures.

Pirates' last five results across all competitions are drew, lost, won, lost, and lost, scoring one goal and conceding six.

Seychelles have only pride to play for in their final fixture of the 2023 Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup; however, they look unlikely to come away with anything from this year's competition when they tackle defending COSAFA Cup champions Zambia on Tuesday, as they have poor form.

Seychelles Team News & Injuries

Coach Vivian Bothe will likely make quite a few changes to his lineup to face Zambia.

Carl Hopprich and Jean-Paul Lesperance picked up injuries against Malawi and are doubtful starters.

Goalkeepers: Alvin Michel, Romeo Padayachy, Jean-Paul Lesperance

Defenders: Darrel Damoo, Daryl Louise, Julio Brown, Don Fanchette, Warren Mellie, Kenner Nourrice, Juninho Mathiot, Ramlee Pascal

Midfielders: Dieter Constance, Dean Mothe, Jean-Yves Ernest, Carl Hopprich, Brandon Labrosse, Neil Confiance, Thierry Camille, Dean Ballette, Gerrick Vidot, Assad Aboudou

Forwards: Josip Ravignia, Ryan Henriettem, Hubert Jean

Zambia Form

Zambia picked up their first win in Group B with a 2-1 victory over Comoros last weekend, keeping their hopes of progressing to the next stage in the Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup intact.

Zambia had the best moments in the first half against Comoros but failed to find the back of the net, as they went into the break level at 0-0.

Zambia pounced early in the second half, taking the lead in the 51st minute of the match; however, a defensive blunder allowed Comoros to equalise 16 minutes later before Zambia regained the lead with a strike in the 74th minute, which proved to be the winning goal.

They had 48% possession and 13 shots in the game, with six attempts on target.

Chipolopolo have won four of their last ten internationals, including five defeats and one draw.

Their last five results across all competitions are won, lost, won, lost, and won, scoring seven goals and conceding five.

Zambia must beat Seychelles convincingly, and Malawi must falter against Comoros if they wish to finish at the top of Group B. Otherwise, they will have to wait and see if they qualify for the semi-finals as the best runner-up from all three groups.

Zambia Team News & Injuries

Coach Moses Sichone will likely stick with the same starting XI that got the job done against Comoros.

Fredrick Mulambia struck the opening goal against Comoros, whilst Albert Kangwanda scored the winning goal.

Goalkeepers: Lawrence Mulenga, Victor Chabu, Francis Mwansa

Defenders: Benedict Chepeshi, Aaron Katebe, Pride Mwansa, Killian Kanguluma, Mathews Chapala, John Chishimba, Samson Mkandawire

Midfielders: Kelvin Kapumbu, Kelvin Mubanga Kampamba, Joshua Mutale, Fredrick Mulambia, Oliver Lumbiya, John Kosamu, Harry Milanzi Jnr, Abraham Siankombo, Patson Kwaitane

Forwards: Albert Kangwanda, Andrew Phiri, Moyela Libamba

Verdict

Seychelles v Zambia

Zambia will start with confidence after their win last weekend and will be too strong for an out-of-sorts Seychelles side. Zambia is tipped to win to nil, with a 3-0 score at the final whistle.
