The Chipolopolo need a win to recover from their 2-0 opening loss to DR Congo. Coach Avram Grant urged his players to forget the past and focus on improvement. 'In football, and in life, there is always something called a new day and new hope,' he said. Captain Kabaso Chongo echoed that sentiment, adding, 'We know Angola is a really good team… We want to keep playing and win game by game.'
Angola, meanwhile, face elimination unless they secure victory. After a 2-0 defeat and a 1-1 draw, coach Pedro Goncalves called for calm and positivity. 'We have to approach them with caution,' he said, urging his side to be bolder upfront. Defender Joaquim 'Quinito' Balanga emphasised the need for a win: 'We want to remain in the competition and for this to happen, we have to give our best.'
The two sides sit fourth (Angola) and fifth (Zambia) in Group A, trailing leaders Kenya and Morocco. Both know this is a must-win game, with survival in the tournament on the line.
Predicted Score:
Angola need a win and will be eager to take it. Their attackers like Jó Paciência can make the difference. If they start well, they have enough quality to win a close game against a struggling Zambia team.
Let's say Angola 1-0 Zambia.

CHAN 2024: Niger vs South Africa – How to Watch & Predicted Score
Niger and South Africa meet at Mandela National Stadium in a Group C match that could decide their CHAN 2024 futures. Moroccan referee Bouchra Karboubi will blow the kick-off whistle at 6:00 pm (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on BeIN Sports MENA, BeIN Sports France, and SuperSport. Niger have yet to earn a point from their opening two games. Coach Harouna Doulla said: 'Tomorrow's game against South Africa will undoubtedly be a tough one for both teams. We are still looking for our first point in this competition, but we believe anything can happen. It will be difficult, but not impossible.' The team is in transition, with young players such as 17-year-old Abdeljelil Ahamat central to the rebuild. Doulla added: 'Our immediate goal is to secure our first point, and we want to achieve that in this game.' South Africa sit on four points from two matches. Coach Molefi Ntseki warned: 'When it comes to tournament football, it is crucial to adjust strategies according to the opponent. Even though Niger hasn't scored any points yet, we cannot underestimate them. They are a well-structured and dangerous team at certain moments in the game.' Ntseki stressed the importance of controlling their own destiny. 'The two remaining matches are decisive. If we don't win, we will depend on calculations and combinations, and that is something we want to avoid. It is up to us to do our job and secure qualification.' Captain Ramahlwe Mphahlele said: 'This game against Niger is very important for us as a team. We know we will face a strong and well-organized opponent, but we are mentally and physically prepared. Playing in a stadium that honors Nelson Mandela is a privilege, and it gives us the strength to defend our country's colors with determination.' Ahamat said for Niger: 'Morale is high. Two losses don't mean everything is over. We will fight to earn our first points. Investing in young players like me is crucial for the future, and I hope to continue contributing to the growth of Nigerien football.' South Africa have two wins and a draw from three previous CHAN meetings. Niger will remember 2011, when they held Bafana Bafana to a goalless draw, eliminating the South Africans.

CHAN 2024: Guinea vs Algeria – How to Watch & Predicted Score
Guinea face Algeria at Kampala's Mandela National Stadium, with a win essential to stay in CHAN 2024. Algeria can book a quarter-final spot with victory. Cameroonian referee Abdou Abdel Mefire will blow the kick-off whistle at 3:00 PM (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on BeIN Sports MENA, BeIN Sports France, and SuperSport. Algeria arrive with confidence, unbeaten in the group with four points from two games. A win over Guinea would secure a quarter-final spot and give them breathing room heading into their final group fixture. Coach Majid Bougherra said: 'From the beginning, I've said that every game is a final. Tomorrow, we face Guinea, who still believe in their chances. It will be a tough match for both teams. We've had more time to recover and prepare.' Bougherra added: 'We've analysed Guinea's recent games thoroughly, understanding their strengths and weaknesses — though I won't reveal them here.' His Desert Foxes side have yet to concede a goal, underlining their defensive discipline. Guinea, meanwhile, face a do-or-die scenario. They won their opener against Congo but faltered against South Africa, exposing inefficiency in front of goal. Coach Souleymane Camara remains optimistic: 'I believe we still have our destiny in our hands. The goal is to win and reach six points, then wait for the other results. There are no excuses. Against South Africa, we played well but lost — tomorrow, we must show a different image, fight from start to finish, and secure the three points.' Camara singled out midfielder Ismaël Camara for his role in controlling the midfield and acknowledged the challenge of a tighter schedule: 'Algeria had more days to rest, and that is an advantage. They are experienced players, used to high-level competitions. Our schedule has been tighter, but we have to deal with it.' Striker Moussa Moïse Camara stressed Guinea's intent: 'Against South Africa, we created many chances but lacked efficiency. We've worked on that aspect and are ready to face Algeria, a very strong and well-organised team.' Historically, each side has one win against the other in CHAN, but Bougherra dismissed the past: 'These are different competitions and teams. We don't focus on the past. This will be a high-level match between two teams that enjoy playing good football. May the best team win.' Score Prediction: Algeria's solidity at the back and ability to control possession give them a slight edge. Guinea must attack from the first whistle, but if they fail to convert chances, Algeria's counter-attacks could be decisive. Expect a tight contest, likely a narrow 2-1 win for Algeria.

CHAN 2024: Angola vs DR Congo – How to Watch & Predicted Score
DR Congo face Angola at Nairobi's Nyayo National Stadium in a Group A match that could determine quarter-final qualification at the 2024 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN). Egyptian referee Mahmoud Nagy will blow the the kick-off whistle at 6:00 PM (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on BeIN Sports France, BeIN Sports MENA, and SuperSport. Two-time CHAN champions DR Congo have had an inconsistent start to the tournament. Their 3-1 victory over Zambia in the previous match provided a boost ahead of this crucial encounter. Angola, runners-up in 2011, come into the game with four points after a 1-1 draw with Kenya and a 2-1 win over Zambia, showing a disciplined approach under Portuguese coach Pedro Gonçalves with a 3-4-3 formation. With head coach Otis Ngoma absent due to illness, assistant coach Daouda Lupembe is in charge. 'Being afraid of qualification is normal. But being afraid of losing is what leads to defeat. We must take this pressure positively, it must motivate us,' he said. Lupembe highlighted the need for focus and careful midfield play. 'It will be difficult because in front of us, we will have a team at the top of their 3-4-3, they can hurt at any time. It is up to us to be focused in the midfield especially. Football is played on details sometimes that you work on, you can never reduce the uncertainties of football.' He also urged his players to manage the highs and lows of the game. 'Every match has its truth. There will be strong moments and weak moments. It's up to us to stay focused, to consolidate our strengths and to minimize our weaknesses. The whole Republic is behind these young people, and we believe in our ability to produce beautiful play and a good result.' Score Prediction: DR Congo must avoid defeat to remain in contention, while Angola can secure a quarter-final place with a win. Expect a tight draw with both sides capable of scoring, but also cautious given what's at stake. Let's say Angola 1-1 DR Congo. Tags: AngolaCHAN 2024DR Congo
