Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications This pair arrives at a match where they must measure themselves directly, after the most recent game of both teams ended in different ways. Zambia just lost 1-3, while Togo just won 1-0. Zambia has come in without winning any of five straight matches. The attack is clearly blunt, having failed to score at all in the two previous games, and in the latest match they still conceded as many as three goals. Togo, meanwhile, is going well, winning two straight and unbeaten in five. The defense is quite sturdy when looking at the scorelines that ended just 1-0 in the last two matches. This game is likely to be one where neither side rushes to open up, with both cautious, because Zambia itself needs to stop a run of three straight defeats, while Togo has no need to attack heavily in the opponent's home. The picture that emerges is likely to be an economical exchange of blows, few scoring chances, and the goal that comes may come from a single moment.
