AFCON AFCON QUALIFIER : Zambia, Zimbabwe in battle of pride

Already qualified Zimbabwe host Zambia on Monday afternoon in a Group H clash.

The game will be played out of mere pride in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification race for the finals.

This is the case as Zambia missed out on qualification after being held 3-3 by Algeria at home last week.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe won 1-0 away in Botswana to seal their place at the AFCON finals.

Knowledge Musona will lead Zimbabwe whereas Patson Daka who scored twice in the loss to Algeria will carry the Warriors hopes.

Zimbabwe won the first leg match played in Lusaka.

Zambia have four points at par with Botswana heading into dead rubbers against Zimbabwe and already qualified Algeria who have 11 points. 

The reigning Africa kings were without key players such as Riyad Mahrez but cruised into a comfortable lead.
