Interesting grouping for Zambia. Eq Guinea are a team to watch. It’s give it all and win all! Libya won’t be lucky this time.

This is a very tricky group. Senegal are a revitalised team, Equ Guinee are unknown force but being hosts they will have a nation behind them, Libya will be stronger then when we failed to beat them at home. Herve and his mates at FAZ house had beta have a good plan

It’s a fair group comprising of average teams.Senegal may be tiped to be group favourites but they are equally a very beatable side. All we need to do is prepare adequately by having atleast two quality friendlies with our strongest possible side.Our coach is ok but all we need is to have a good player selection procedure. GO-ZAMBIA-GO.

Tight groupings! Am afraid of meeting Ivory Coast even if we go thru the 1st round. We need to be very careful or else we might exit just in the preliminary rounds. Libya is our fear & probably Senegal! Preparation should be right now.

Team selection and less interferance from FAZ and Kalusha Bwalya will play a pivotal role. Otherwise I see us going out early if we play friendlies with very weak teams like in the past.Organise friendlies with very strong teams and camp the team in a country with similar weather conditions to those of the hosting countries and also train the team under flood lights as playing at night does not always go well with our teams.
