Prediction: Draw or Comoros wins
The early meetings between these nations were high scoring. That was when Zambia had total control in this fixture. However, with Comoros improving, there have been fewer and fewer goals seen in this matchup. In the last three matches, only four goals were scored when these nations met.
Zambia have been goal-shy in recent outings, failing to score in four of their last eight games. Also, both sides had low xG in the opening round of matches, and we could see the same here. Our prediction for Zambia v Comoros is: draw or Comoros wins.

Zambia arrived in Morocco firmly focused on replicating their 2012 heroics as they lifted the African title. Their ambitions don’t match with the form they carried into this competition, though. The South African nation started off their charge with a slice of luck and a point in the 1-1 draw with Mali.
Earlier in the game, their opponents missed a penalty, and then Zambia needed a late Patson Daka equalizer to avoid starting with defeat. Still, they are winless at AFCON in 11 matches, having drawn nine times.
The last time they won the second group game at AFCON was back in 1996. Zambia have also conceded in each of the last four AFCON matches.

Comoros started their 2025 journey on a strong footing against hosts Morocco but would capitulate in the second half. It ended in a 2-0 defeat, and they will be looking to bounce back here.
In their last two meetings with Zambia, Comoros emerges as winners, both games ending 1-0. In the spirit of their performance against Morocco, Comoros will not be faulted for feeling confident about this game.
They also had a slice of luck as Morocco missed a penalty in the match. Another downside from their opening result is that in their five matches at AFCON, Comoros haven't managed a clean sheet.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Comoros +0.5
European Handicap: draw or Comoros wins
Predicted Scores: 0-1, 1-1, 1-2
Predicted Total Goals: 1, 2, 3
