PERMUTATIONS FOR ZAMBIA
??Zambia needs to win the away game in Guinea next week to have less worries as they host Kenya at home in September
??Take note that Kenya already eliminated with be facing Congo in Kenya. Congo and Zambia are all on six points
1⃣A WIN FOR ZAMBIA
Takes the Chipolopolo to nine points ahead of Guinea Bissau and will have to wait for the result between Kenya and Congo to determine who leads the group in game number five.
2⃣A DRAW FOR ZAMBIA
Guinea Bissau goes on 8 points and Zambia on 7 points and Congo would lead the group if they beat Kenya away.
3⃣A LOSS FOR ZAMBIA
Very disastrous result especially if Congo win away, that will mean Zambia can no longer catch up with Guinea Bissau even when we beat Kenya at home.
??With a Congo win in a Kenya and a Zambia loss in Guinea, Zambia will even have a dark spot in the two best losers slot as Congo would stand a better chance in Group E.
************************
??BEST RESULT FOR ZAMBIA
IS to beat Guinea Bissau away and stop worrying of the result that comes from Kenya. Zambia also need to increase the goal tally to leapfrog Congo should Kenya lose.
