In addition to Mauritania and Zambia, teams from Tunisia and Equatorial Guinea will play in Group B.
Mauritania is ranked 101st in FIFA rankings. French specialist Corentin Martins has been working with the team for a long time (since 2014). And under his leadership, the national team is slowly but steadily progressing. There are no big names in it: you can note the 26-year-old striker Abubakar Kamara from Greek Aris.
It is also worth emphasizing that the Mauritanian captain midfielder El Hachen (from Spanish Valladolid) will miss the upcoming game due to injury. A football player has a cruciate ligament tear.

Zambia is 86th in FIFA rankings. In 2012, copper bullets sensationally won the Africa Cup of Nations. But since then a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, the generation of football players has changed, and now Zambia has almost no bright stars. The exceptions are Lester Patsock Duck striker and Brighton midfielder Enok Mwepu.
Zambia has a new head coach last summer. He became the bronze medalist of the 1998 World Cup as part of the Croatian team Alesha Asanovic.
Bookmakers consider Mauritania to be a more integral team, therefore the teams’ chances in the upcoming meeting are estimated as approximately equal. I’ll bet both will score yes for 2.25. I think the exchange of goals in the first round is quite possible.
