Zambia and Niger are set to face off in the eighth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Africa. Heading into this match, hosts Zambia are fourth on nine points and Niger are second on 12 in Group E. Read on to find our prediction of the match.
As far as qualifying from this group is concerned, these two have run their races. Morocco have already snatched the top spot, and these two can only vie for a strong finish.
Zambia are coming off a 1-0 away win in Tanzania but Eritrea's withdrawal from the qualifiers means these teams are going into their final group match. They have no chance to advance even among the best placed runner-ups.
Niger are ninth in the list of the highest ranking second placed teams. They can't, however, command a place in the playoffs as only four advance in that respect.
The visitors are coming from a 3-1 win against Congo. Their confidence should be really high, having won two consecutive matches. Niger, who would ordinarily come into this match as the underdogs, have actually lost just once in the last five matches.
That, compared to their hosts, who have four losses in the last five, means Niger will feel this is a winnable game. They won their home game against Zambia 2-1 and are unbeaten in three meetings with Chipolopolo.

Our Zambia vs Niger Prediction
There isn't a lot to play for here, apart from these two nations battling for a second-place finish. They are basically fighting for scraps, with Morocco having run off with the automatic ticket. The fight for pride means we can still look forward to an exciting match.
Zambia have managed just two wins in their last 10 games and will hope home advantage works for them. They are, however, facing a confident side, coming off two straight wins. Niger have only won three of their last 10 matches, though, and it looks more like the nations will share spoils. Our prediction for Zambia v Niger is for a draw.
