Zambia vs Comoros Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | AFCON 2025

Neither of the teams started their campaign on a winning note.

The Zambia national football team are now going to lock horns with the Comoros national football team for their second group stage clash of the 2025 AFCON. This is going to be an interesting contest, which will take place at the Mohamed V Stadium.

The Chipolopolo were held to a 1-1 draw by Mali in their opening game of the African competition. They secured a last-minute goal, which helped them secure a point. This also shows that the Zambia national football team need to work better in the attacking front, if they want to secure a win in their next game.

Les Coelacanthes were completely outplayed by Morocco in their previous outing of the Africa Cup of Nations. They looked good in the first half, but their efforts in the second half were not good enough as they conceded a couple of goals and failed to score any. The Comoros national football team will be in for a tough battle.

• Stadium: Mohamed V Stadium
• Date: Friday, December 26
• Kick-off Time: 11:00 p.m. IST/ 05:30 p.m. GMT/ 12:30 p.m. ET/ 09:30 a.m. PT
