Group C action at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations continues on Saturday night with Nigeria taking on Zambia. With 11 combined goals scored in these sides’ previous match, we’re leaning toward another high-scoring outcome here as our main prediction.
Nigeria are still among the favourites to win the 2026 WAFCON, but they are entering this match off the back of the biggest upset in the opening round, losing 3-2 to Malawi on Tuesday.
Despite dominating 55% possession and scoring twice, the Super Falcons’ lack of clinical finishing ultimately led to their downfall as their opponents converted three of their four big chances.
Still, Nigeria are expected to bounce back here, having now lost only two of their last 17 matches across all competitions, and scored two or more goals in each of their last five.
Meanwhile, Zambia produced a stunning performance in their tournament opener, securing the biggest win of the first round of matches in their 6-0 thumping of Egypt earlier in the week.
The Scorchers recorded an incredible 34 shots at goal and overperformed their 4.95 xG against the Cleopatras. Barbra Banda starred for the team, scoring four goals and providing an assist.
Across their last 10 matches, Zambia’s record reads as W4 D2 L4. However, they have lost three of their last four games against their upcoming opponents.
