Botswana vs Zambia Prediction 11 June 2025

🔊 An intriguing clash awaits as Botswana and Zambia face off to determine who advances to the semifinals from Group D. Let's not forget, Group D consists of three teams, meaning each team plays two matches. Currently, the Comoros Islands lead the group, having completed their matches and amassed a total of four points. Can Botswana defeat Zambia and surpass the Comoros Islands on head-to-head criteria to secure a spot in the COSAFA Cup semifinals?

As a result, the Comoros currently have 4 points with a goal difference of plus one. If Botswana manage a more decisive victory over Zambia than the Comoros did, the Zebras will secure the top spot and advance to the semifinals.

Zambia could either spoil Botswana's chances by avoiding defeat or aid Comoros if they fall to the "Zebras."
