This isn’t just another match; it’s a do-or-die battle. Both Morocco and Zambia are staring down elimination unless they secure that elusive win.
Morocco, the reigning back-to-back CHAN champions, suffered a surprising loss to Kenya in their second game, marking their first defeat in the competition since 2016.
Zambia, meanwhile, has struggled from the start, losing both of their opening matches (0–2 to DR Congo and 1–2 to Angola). Today’s match is their last lifeline in the group.
What the Coaches Are Saying
Avram Grant (Zambia):
“We didn’t want to lose both games… we created chances… we need a winning mentality and character after two disappointing losses.”- Pressing on the importance of belief and resilience under tournament pressure.
Tarik Sektioui (Morocco):
“We’ve learned from our Kenya defeat. We’re focused on winning against Zambia to earn the three points… no team is weak anymore… only mentality sets us apart.”- A coach determined to see his champions rediscover their form.
Tactical Spotlight: Where the Advantage Lies
Morocco’s edge:
They see a glaring opportunity down Zambia’s right flank, historically a defensive weak point. Players like Youssef Mehri might just turn that into the winning formula.But Morocco also needs to sharpen their finishing. Against Kenya, too many crafted chances ended without a goal. The precision must improve.
