Zambia begin their Africa Cup of Nations campaign, with their last four outings yielding four defeats and nine goals conceded. They lost their last meeting with Mali a few years ago, and the favourites have won three of their last five fixtures. Across all competitions, 5 out of Mali's last 7 matches ended with a maximum of 2 goals scored in 90 minutes. 5 out of Zambia's last 7 matches also ended with a similar result. Furthermore, in their last 4 encounters, 3 matches ended with a total of no more than 2 goals. Therefore, this match is unlikely to exceed 2 goals. Predicted result: Mali vs Zambia: 2-0. Expected lineup Mali: Samassa; Dante, Fofana, Niakate, W. Coulibaly; Dieng, Sangare; L. Doumbia, Nene Coulibaly; Toure Zambia: Mulenga; Bandar, Musonda, Chanda, Hamansenya; Phindi, Simunkonda, Chaiwa, Sakala; Kangwa, Daka

Home team form: Mali (last 10 games) Mali are in strong home form and on a rising trend, winning 7, drawing 2 and losing 1 of their last 10 matches; theyve been scoring regularly and rarely conceding. The side averages around 2 goals per game while keeping numerous clean sheets, so momentum is clearly with Mali heading into this fixture. Given that balance of attacking output and defensive solidity, backing Mali to score more than once looks sensible. Away team form: Zambia (last 10 games) Zambia are on a clear declining run with 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats in their last 10 matches; the trend points downward rather than improving. Their attack has struggled, scoring only 8 goals across those 10 games (0.8 per match) while the defence has conceded 15. With that low scoring output, a conservative goals projection for Zambia looks sensible.

Portuguese Primeira Liga: Alverca vs FC Porto In terms of head-to-head history, the two teams have only met twice in the past, and those matches took place a long time ago, with the advantage going to the away side. Alverca are a newly promoted team, currently sitting in the lower half of the league table and showing inconsistent form. In their last 10 matches, they have recorded 4 wins, 4 losses, and 2 draws. Alverca perform relatively well at home but struggle when facing stronger opponents. They are likely to adopt a defensive approach, looking for counterattacks and opportunities from set pieces or quick breaks. However, they do not have many options to break down Portos defense. On the other side, Porto are leading the Primeira Liga 2025/26 table with an extremely impressive record: unbeaten and collecting a series of consecutive victories. They are in good form both offensively and defensively. Porto usually dominate possession, apply high pressing, and capitalize on opponents mi

Italian Super Cup: Napoli vs Bologna In terms of head-to-head history, the advantage belongs to Napoli, who have recorded 5 wins, 3 draws, and only 2 defeats against Bologna. Bologna reached the final of the 2025 Italian Super Cup after defeating Inter Milan in a penalty shootout in the semifinals. The match ended 11 after 90 minutes, with Bologna winning 32 on penalties. Ciro Immobile was the hero, converting the decisive spot kick and leaving a strong mark on the match. Earlier, Bologna also won the 2025 Coppa Italia by beating AC Milan 10 in the Italian Cup final. Bologna are in very high spirits after their victory over Inter, boosted by strong performances and leadership from Ciro Immobile and Orsolini. On the other side, Bolognas opponent in the final is Napoli, who secured their place by defeating AC Milan 20 in the semifinals. Napoli are the reigning Serie A champions, showing consistent form and being highly rated ahead of the final. With a well-balanced squad and stable perfo

La Liga (Spain): Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol In terms of head-to-head history, the advantage belongs to Athletic Bilbao. In the last 10 meetings between the two sides, the home team have lost only once, recorded 5 wins, and suffered 4 defeats overall. Looking at current form, Athletic Bilbao have been inconsistent, going through an uneven run of results and winning only 2 of their last 7 La Liga matches. Their goal-scoring record has been poor recently, and they have failed to win three consecutive games, settling only for draws and losses. In addition, their defense is weakened by the absence of several key players due to injuries and suspensions. On the other hand, Espanyol are in much better form, having won four consecutive La Liga matches ahead of this away trip. They are solid both offensively and defensively, with a well-organized and fluid style of play. Espanyol are currently sitting in 5th place and are competing for a European qualification spot next season. In their last 10
