Namibia and Tanzania lost their opening matches at the African Nations Championships and will fight it out for three points in Group D on Saturday.  While Tanzania suffered a 2-0 loss to Zambia, Namibia were beaten 3-0 by Guinea. The loss to Guinea marked the fifth winless outing for Namibia; they have four losses in the process. After getting to the quarter finals in 2018, the expectation is to advance in this edition but the heavy opening loss spreads doubts. This is furthered by the fact that they have failed to score in three of the last four matches in this competition.

Tanzania, on the other hand, are on a much longer winless run – seven, and with five losses therein. They had a decent showing in their loss to Zambia though will blame themselves for the early misses before conceding twice in the second half. The East African nation is making a second appearance at this competition after making it to the inaugural one in 2009. That time, in Ivory Coast, Tanzania couldn’t get out of their group. A blunt attack is to blame for Tanzania’s poor performance in this competition. They have scored in just one of their last six matches in the competition – two goals in their 2-1 win over Sudan.
