South Africa and Zambia will tomorrow rock horns in their second group B fixture at the ongoing U17 Africa cup of nations in Algeria.
The match to take place at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium is a must-win encounter for any of the two sides, as defeat for either side will mean elimination from the junior tournament.
Zambia coached by Ian Bakala, will need to win the match to stand a chance of qualifying to the next round of the competition.
Bakala is anticipating a tough game tomorrow, but he has promised the fans that the team will perform better than the previous game, which the junior Chipolopolo boys lost 1-0 to Nigeria.
On the other hand, South Africa, also went down 2-0 to Morocco in their opening match of the tournament.
“It will be a crucial game; we have played South Africa twice and beaten them twice. We are expecting a tough game, but we have planned well, and I think we are going to do much better than in the previous match,” Bakala told a press conference.

“We have controlled our mistakes in training, going to the next match against South Africa, we will do much better. It will be a different ball game, we have told the boys not to be in a hurry, but I think tomorrow we are going to see goals. They are ready and prepared for tomorrow,” noted Bakala.
