Tunisia Coach Gives Zambia Rating in 2022 Qatar Race

Share

Chipolopolo’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifiers opponent Tunisia coach Mondher Kebaier has given his take on the Group B draws.

Zambia and Tunisia will, together with Mauritania and Equatorial Guinea, battle for the lone top spot in Group B to advance to the final knockout round of the 2022 Qatar qualifiers.

“We know Mauritania very well, as we’ve played against them more than once. We’re also familiar with Equatorial Guinea, against whom we’re competing in the AFCON qualifiers. And we know all about the abilities of Zambia. Therefore, we need to play in a spirit of solidarity and with a strong will to qualify,” Kebaier told FIFA.com.

CAF has not yet set the fixture dates for the Qatar qualifiers that were due to begin this October and are banking on the receding of the Coronavirus pandemic that has so far seen three 2021 AFCON qualifier matches in March and June cancelled due to the prevailing disease.

Chipolopolo and Tunisia have not met since the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea that the latter won 2-1, ironically, in another Group B match.

But this will be Mauritania and Equatorial Guinea’s first competitive qualifier encounter against Chipolopolo.

  1. Let wait and see how the game will unfold thats if we shall still have Zambia in 2022. You might just face of with chambia. so bwana easy you have points for yowa self

  2. What is this rating? Why is it important enough to grab a headline? Is it enriching?

  3. Pray for Chipolopolo so that they avoid draws at home n if they win is a 2 goal project. These type of games should be won at home n try grind a result on away matches. We don’t want mathematics pa last depending on other teams to do us a favour awe. Get at least 4 points off Tunisia n we talking.

  4. Chipolopolo have a history of losing
    When it has to win most.They have a
    History of winning when people don’t expect them to win.lets see what the new coach brings to zambia.
