Zambia Goals Questions

Fashion Sakala leads with 2 goals across 9 qualifying appearances (0.22/g, 22% hit rate). The goal-rate table below ranks every Zambia player by goals per qualifying appearance (≥20 minutes) and six-game form.

How does Zambia's scoring profile look this season?

Zambia are averaging 0.4 goals per game over 15 games and concede 1.53 for a match-total of 1.93. That ranks 37th of 50 for team goals scored. They're generating 6 shots/g from 3.13 key passes/g.

Why aren't there any Bet365 prices on this page?

The Bet365 player markets feed currently ships odds for Shots, Shots on Target, Tackles, Fouls and Yellow Cards. Anytime-scorer prices are not yet wired up; the chip will read “no priced market” until that's added.

How is the goals matchup read calculated?

Goals matchup blends our attackers' scoring rate (50%) with the opposition's goals conceded per game (50%). For the upcoming fixture against Burundi, the page weights each Zambia attacker against the opposition's last-season goals-conceded rate.

Where do these goal stats come from?

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz - 15 Zambia fixtures in the active window for 2026.

Why is finishing rate (Goals / SOT) shown?

Zambia are currently finishing at 29% - that's the share of their shots on target that beat the keeper. Above-average finishing without a matching xG signal usually regresses; pair this with shots/g and key passes/g to read whether the goals trend is sustainable.
