Zambia - Morocco: Form Analysis
The 2012 champions, Zambia, are still in contention for a spot in the last 16 following consecutive 1-1 draws against DR Congo and Tanzania. To advance, they must secure a victory against Morocco. In their match against Congo, Zambia showcased excellent defensive resilience, holding their opponents to a draw despite registering only three shots at goal. Their clinical efficiency was evident as they made their solitary shot on target count. The second match unfolded differently, with Zambia reduced to 10 men. Despite the numerical disadvantage, they managed the game effectively to avoid a loss against the Taifa Stars. With these results, Zambia has positioned themselves well to qualify, but defeating the Atlas Lions is a challenging task. Zambia has drawn each of their last three games and suffered only one defeat in their last six matches. The upcoming clash against Morocco will be a decisive test for Zambia's aspirations in the tournament.
The tournament favourites and 2022 World Cup semi-finalists had a comfortable start in Group F by securing a convincing 3-0 victory over Tanzania last week. However, they faced an unexpected challenge against DR Congo on Sunday afternoon. Despite Achraf Hakimi's early volley putting Morocco in the lead, they couldn't capitalize on their advantage and ended up with a frustrating 1-1 draw after conceding in the second half. Nevertheless, the Atlas Lions find themselves at the top of the group heading into the final round of fixtures. With four points on the board and the likelihood of eight third-placed teams advancing, their place in the last 16 is almost secure. However, they aim to claim the position as group winners to potentially secure a more favorable matchup in the next round.

Zambia & Morocco Squad Analysis
Zambia will be without the services of Roderick Kabwe, who received a red card in their last match against Tanzania. As a result, either Clatous Chama or Kennedy Musonda is expected to fill the vacant spot in the starting lineup in place of Kabwe. Apart from the absence of the midfielder due to suspension, Zambia does not have any new injury concerns heading into the upcoming match.
Morocco faced DR Congo without the services of Noussair Mazraoui, the Bayern Munich defender, who continues to be sidelined due to a persistent thigh problem sustained with his club last month. The extent of his recovery and whether he will be available to play any role in the upcoming match against Zambia on Wednesday remains uncertain.
