After posting their best-ever run, reaching the last 16 before bowing out to Angola at the 2023 AFCON in the Ivory Coast earlier this year, Namibia’s participation in the next edition is in serious jeopardy unless they can turn their form around.

Two rounds into qualifying, Namibia are rooted to the bottom of Group J and are currently one of only seven of the 36 participating nations yet to secure their first point in the tournament.

Collin Benjamin’s side will need to avoid defeat in all of their remaining matches in this section to stand a chance of qualifying, and history suggests they may be able to start with a win here, given that they have beaten Zimbabwe in six straight encounters prior to this one.

Zimbabwe have had a mixed return to international football since their ban imposed by FIFA was lifted last year, and they will enter this contest seeking to avoid a fourth successive game without a win.

Zimbabwe’s winless run includes a 2-0 defeat to Kenye at the COSAFA Cup last year and back-to-back goalless draws, again against the Harambee Stars, and then to Cameroon, in the first two rounds of this competition.

Namibia vs. Zimbabwe Head to head
