Player to watch: Tanganyinka Derby

Zambia will go head-to-head with Tanzania in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations group F match at the Laurent Pokou Stadium in San Pedro on Sunday.

Patson Daka, Zambia: The Leicester City striker grabbed an assist against DR Congo and he will now be determined to find the back of the net when he faces the Tanzania defence which conceded three goals against Morocco.

Mbwana Samatta, Tanzania: The Taifa Stars captain is a proven goalscorer, having found the back of the net 22 times in 76 matches for his nation and he will be eager to lead his troops to a victory over Zambia.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Zambia and Tanzania have met 32 times across all competitions. Chipolopolo have won 18 games compared to the Taifa Stars’ five victories, while nine matches ended in a draw.
