"Starting with the hosts, enduring what was a public African Nations Championship nightmare last month, Zambia are enduring what has been another extended crisis. Losing all of their four Group A appearances by an aggregate score of 8-2 as they finished rock-bottom of the table, Avram Grant finds a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders. Failing to collect a single competitive victory across any competition over the past 11 months,"
"As for the visitors, marking their return to World Cup qualifying duties last week with another sensational display, Morocco are enjoying what has been another extended purple patch. Cruising their way to a routine 5-0 romp at home against Niger on Friday night, Walid Regragui's side find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Crowned African Nations champions for a third time on August 30th as they clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory against Madagascar,"
Zambia are in deep crisis after a poor African Nations Championship showing and four Group A defeats by an 8-2 aggregate, leaving Avram Grant under heavy pressure. The team has not won a competitive match in 11 months and lost 1-0 to Kenya on August 17; defensive and attacking issues persist. Morocco arrive in red-hot form, winning six consecutive matches across competitions, including a 5-0 victory over Niger and back-to-back 3-1 wins against Zambia and DR Congo. Morocco were crowned African Nations champions on August 30 and exhibit clinical attacking performances while topping their qualifying group.
