A LOOK SEE AT GROUP B Group B will be based in Ebebiyin, a boarder town to both Cameroon and Gabon. About 178 km away from Chipolopolos 2012 base, Bata. Along with Tunisia, Zambia will battle it with northen neighbours D R Congo and yet again Cape Verde. D R Congo: It was during one match played on 12th and 14th March 1974 that Chipolopolo last played the Democratic Republic du Congo then known as Zaire at the AFCON. However recently, the two nations last met at the inaugural CHAN final in Ivory Coast in 2009. DR Congo won 2-1. It is a new-look Congo side; Florent Ibenge also managing AS Vita has grabbed the reins with conviction since August when Claude LeRoy made the position vacant. Congo has now huge and speedy strikers standing about 6ft and above, say, the twain left-footed Jeremy Bokila (Club Bruge, Belgium) and Junior Kalonji (Russia). Chipolopolo is playing the Leopards on 18th January 2015 Tunisia: the Chipolopolo lads last faced the Carthagian Eagles in a group D match during the 2010 AFCON tornament which was held in Angola. It ended 1-all draw. Goals coming from Jacob Mulenga and Dhaouadi. Tunisia is making a 17th appearance having reached the finals on three occasions and twice only when they hosted it; in 1962 and 2004, the latter being their only time they conquered Africa. Cape Verde: Aguas, the Blue Sharks coach has already shown confidence that Chipolopolo will not be much of a bother in group B and he is more wary of Tunisia and DR Congo. Cape Verdians made their debut at the AFCON in South Africa two years ago drawing against the hosts during the opener. They went as far as the quarter finals when Ghana managed 2-0. I am sure no one in their right mind would regard them as minnows.
