Mpote confident of World Cup qualification

In a draw conducted in Abidjan last night, the Zebras were pitted against former African champions, Algeria, Guinea, Uganda, Mozambique and Somalia. It is Algeria and Guinea that could pose a serious threat to Zebras' chances of progressing. However, Mpote told Mmegi Sport last night that there is a good chance of qualifying, provided the preparations are spot on.

"I am going in there confident of qualifying. They are all strong teams, but the draw is ok. We need to prepare well and then we can beat any team. If you win at home, then your chances of qualifying are good," Mpote said.
