Zambia vs Tunisia preview

Posted on | January 13, 2010 | 1 Comment


Game :- Zambia vs Tunisia ( Group D)

Date :-13th January 2010

KO time :- 19.30 Angolan Time

Tuesday’s second game in Group D sees Zambia play Tunisia in Lubango. The Carthage Eagles are yet to recover from their failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup and coach Faouzi Benzarti has quite a task on his hands as he tries to get his players to deliver their best on the field.

Zambia were placed in a tough group two years ago and failed to qualify. The Copper Bullets started off well with a 3-0 win over Sudan, but were brought down to earth by Cameroon, who handed them a 5-1 thrashing. They finished off their group engagements by drawing with eventual champions Egypt.

Zambia were not able to qualify for the 2010 World Cup, but they did manage to get a couple of impressive results. They drew 1-1 with Egypt in Cairo and were narrowly beaten by Algeria in Blida.

Tunisia were beaten 2-1 by Gambia in their last friendly. Benzarti started with Adel Nefzi in goal instead of Aymen Mathlouthi. However Mathlouthi is expected to be back under the sticks for the Zambia game. Zouheir Dhaouadi might get the nod ahead of Chauki Ben Saada, while upfront, Issam Jemma should partner Amine Chermiti. Benzarti might also consider giving young striker Ahmed Akaichi some playing time. Akaichi was impressive against Gambia, but it is unlikely that Benzarti will start with the youngster in a such a crunch game.

Zambia form- last five games- most recent first- Zambia scorers in brackets-

Zambia 4-2 Korea ( Chris Katongo, Rainford Kalaba, James Chamanga, Noah Chivuta )
Zambia 4-1 North Korea ( James Chamanga*3, Felix Sunzu)
Rwanda 0-0 Zambia
Zambia 0-1 Egypt
Algeria 1-0 Zambia

Tunisia form- last five games- most recent first- Tunisia scorers in brackets-

Tunisia 1-2 Gabon ( Amine Chermiti)
Palestine 0-3 Tunisia
Mozambique 1-0 Tunisia
Tunisia 0-1 Saudi Arabia
Tunisia 1-0 Kenya ( Issam Jemaa)

Zambia are a vastly improved side, while Tunisia are still getting their act together.

Verdict:- Zambia 1-1 Tunisia ( Chamanga/ Chermiti)
