Cape Verde coach Rui Aguas says he will be field a competitive but weakened side against Zambia on Wednesday.
The Blue Sharks, who qualified to the 2015 Africa Cup with two games in hand, enjoy an unassailable lead in Group F heading into their final qualifier at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
“We hope to finish this qualification with a good match,” Aguas said at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe airport in Ndola on Tuesday after arriving for Wednesday’s game.
“I will make some changes in the team because I have many players who also need to play.”
Cape Verde have 12 points, four points more than Zambia heading into Wednesday’s game who have also qualified together with the Islanders.
The meeting will be the two sides second-ever encounter after Cape Verde beat Zambia 2-1 in their Group F first leg meeting in Praia on September 10.
