I am backing Zambia to come out with a 1-0 win.

Zambia won their last match to nil.
Niger have won their last 2 matches.
Niger have received 3 red cards in 3 of their last 4 matches.

Head to Head

Niger beat Zambia 2-1 in November 2023 in this first leg of this qualifying group. Niger were at home.

Zambia Form

Zambia are currently fourth in Group E with a game to play. They are on nine points, three points behind their opponents, Niger. Zambia have a better goal difference so three points here will push them into second place.

In September, Zambia lost 2-0 at home to Morocco in the World Cup qualifiers but bounced back last week, defeating Tanzania 1-0 away from home. That victory put them in contention to still reach the World Cup in 2026.

Niger Form

Niger are in prime position to qualify for the World Cup, currently second in the group. They just need to avoid defeat to secure second place, however, defeat will see Zambia go above them.

Niger lost 5-0 to Morocco in September but beat Tanzania 1-0 a week later. In a crucial must-win game on Wednesday, Niger defeated Congo 3-1 at home.

Daniel Sosah gave them the lead before Youssouf Oumarou and Victories Adebayor sealed the game. Niger conceded four minutes into injury time.

Verdict

Zambia are backed to win to nil in this must-win clash.
