Zambia prepares to face Equatorial Guinea on Sunday in the two sides first-ever meeting.
Equatorial Guinea has already qualified for the quarterfinals with a game to spare while Zambia need just a draw to join their opponents.
However, Zambia are hoping for a win to try and avoid Group B leaders Cote d’Ivoire who have qualified to the quarterfinals on maximum six points with a game in hand.
Renard has made no secret that he would prefer to meet second placed Angola on four points heading into their final game against Cote d’Ivoire or Sudan who have one point and take on eliminated Burkina Faso also on Monday.
Renard said he was going to make some changes from the team that has played the last two matches especially after defensive blunders from the 2-2 draw on a waterlogged pitch in Bata.
The team meanwhile, is reportedly injury free ahead of the crucial match in Malabo.
And in the other Group A match, Libya on one points face Senegal who are out of the competition in the other last pool match in Bata.
Libya need to beat Senegal 3-0 and hope that Equatorial guinea defeat Zambia to qualify.
Go boys! You can never do me any wrong whatever happens. Very entertaining team.
poor performance especially the last match.
:((\:d/  we  have  won.
Zambia is losing this game..My team fikolopo!!
The Chipolopolo should give a football lesson to Equatorial Guinea & thrash them!!!
Cliford Cliford Cliford!!!
My advice to Chipolopolo is to go hammer goals in the net relentless from the get go to last minute. No complacency. Teach Equatorial Guinea’s coach to stop insulting you. You are the most skilled and entertaining of the lot out there, and please bring that trophy home.Â
Bring Clifford Mulenga please.!!!
Go boys we are behind you. We nid a win nothing like a draw but a win. Though we don’t mind meeting any opponent big or small. Do it for mother Zambia boys.Go go gogogogogogogogo chipolopolooooooiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeh.
Believe in them and have confidence they will win. go boys gooo

Warning to the Equatorial Guinea coach : ” Another word to describe underating Zambia is- SUICIDE ” ! Let us shut up the big mouth of the Equatorial Guinea coach ! We shall show them plenty of disrespect on the pitch ! Their team is full of non indigenous players while ours only has “true Zambians” !
God bless Zambia, we shall trample on those kids and let them be thwarted by Ivory coast, and we shall Swarez our own neighbours Angola to get into the semi. Gogogogogogogogogogo Zambia, so far we are the most consistent team in scoring and performance well done guys.
Go! Go!!!!! Copper bullets. Yes you can!!!!!!!!!
I concur with No.7 (Wantanshi). The coach for Eq Guinea really insulted us before the games saying Zambia is the weakest in the group and that they would rather lose to some other team but not Zambia. They need to be shown a lesson.
No. 12 (LCD). Well said too. This is the only game I have been waiting for.
The team should not play for entertainment to day, but play to win!! The boys should be goal oriented in their approach to the game today. We must get into the quarter finals and play for nothing less!
The odds have never as strongly been in our favour as they are now. All the big teams are under-performing and Zambia has performed quite consistently. This time around I actually think it is possible for us to win the cup. All the best Chipolopolo
EG Guinea coach needs a lesson pliz, the chap insulted us. few hours remainin he will c, n ivory coat bury him together with his boys. COPPER BULLET S HERE WE COM
Iwe ci so called(djsmuzzi)kapulikobe
All the best boys.Go for jugular and kill the game quickly
yes kick those imposters…oil workers..from brazil..think of india..5-0 and give them a football lesson they will never 4get..
That coach should shut up, too many am nonsense, water logged pitches etc. what a bunch of silly bollox! Mwanya ba fi colour! Mwalapamwa Lelo. As wile would say, ninkalipa saana ndenunka na gunpowder! Ba zambia I’m with you all the way, win or lose. There are no imports in our team, all thorough bread,nshima-fed boys from Mother ZAmbia cradled in her lap and nourished by the love of 11.5 million zambia who stand together behind you baiche!!!! Let’s fcuk these west Africans up!!!!
