AFCON 2021 Qualifiers Predictions
The qualifiers for AFCON 2021 are just around the corner.

The AFCON 2021 groups are a curious mix of teams that got to the qualifiers by very different routes.

The new coach enjoyed a debut win against Mali in the Mandel Challenge, and he will hope that his charges carry that momentum into the AFCON 2021 Qualifiers this November.
