CHAN 2024: Zambia and Angola set for high-stakes showdown

Zambia will meet Angola on Sunday, 10 August, at 17:00 (French time) in a decisive Group A fixture at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024.

Both sides, seasoned competitors in continental football, enter the contest knowing that anything less than victory could end their hopes of advancing.

The Chipolopolo head into the clash under mounting pressure after a 2-0 defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo in their opening match. The result has left them with no margin for error.

To keep their qualification ambitions alive, Zambia will need a dramatic improvement in both defence and attack, as well as a return to the intensity that has long been a hallmark of their game.

For Angola, the situation is equally precarious. The Palancas Negras have managed just one point from their first two matches, leaving them in urgent need of a positive result.

Failure to secure victory in this fixture could all but extinguish their hopes of progressing from the group stage.

Both sides will be aware of the stakes in what promises to be a fiercely contested Southern African derby.

Group A is currently led by the Democratic Republic of Congo, and with the leaders already in a strong position, the fight for the remaining qualification spots has reached a critical stage.

The outcome in this match could have significant repercussions for the group standings.
