Former African champions Zambia and Cameroon are set to play a friendly match in preparation for the coming African Cup of Nations finals. Zambia will play host to this highly anticipated encounter, preparing for their Group F matches at AFCON. The Southern Africa nation doesn’t take into this game a great run of form but will hope to wrap up their preps on a high. They go into this match with just two wins in their last five matches. In their last outing, Zambia lost 2-1 away to Niger in the World Cup qualifiers. They have just one clean sheet in their last five matches but have scored in all but one. Each of Zambia’s last three matches produced over 2.5 goals.

Cameroon rank much higher than Zambia going into the AFCON competition. They will want a reflection of that in their final prep game for the competition. The recent matches haven't had Cameroon on a very stable footing, with only two wins to show in their last nine matches. Coming into this game they drew 1-1 with Libya in their last game, a 2026 World Cup qualifier. Their two aforementioned wins were against much weaker opposition – Mauritius and Burundi. Four of their last seven matches have returned over 2.5 goals and they have just two clean sheets in nine matches. Cameroon have done so poorly away from home, going winless in the last nine away matches, losing seven of them.
