Angola Form 


Angola were on course to win their opening COSAFA Cup group stage match against Namibia but had to settle for a share of the spoils after the score ended 1-1.

Angola had no answer in the first half against Namibia, going into the break with the score unchanged since kick-off.

Angola had opportunities to score in the second half before being awarded a penalty late in the match. They took the lead in the first minute of stoppage time, only to see Namibia equalise six minutes later. 

Angola had 45% possession and nine shots in the game, with six attempts on target.

Palancas Negras have won four of their last five fixtures in the COSAFA Cup, including two losses. They scored 14 goals and conceded five.

Angola are on a seven-match unbeaten run in the Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup, which includes five victories and two draws, giving them the advantage over Lesotho to pocket their first three points in this year's competition.

Lesotho Form 


Lesotho secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Malawi mid-week, ending their four-match run without a win in the Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup.

Lesotho had moments to score in the first half against Malawi but went into the break with the score level at 0-0.

Lesotho continued to create chances and broke the deadlock with a goal in the 83rd minute to beat Malawi. 

Likuena had 45% possession and eight shots in the match, with three attempts on target. 

Lesotho did not win a fixture in Group C of the 2024 COSAFA Cup after drawing 1-1 against the Seychelles, losing 2-1 to Namibia and 3-1 to eventual champions Angola. 

The Crocodiles have registered one win in their last five fixtures in the COSAFA Cup, including three defeats and one draw. They scored four goals and conceded seven.

Lesotho will be out for revenge after being defeated by Angola in last year's competition, but it will be tough as their opponents have not lost in the COSAFA Cup since 2023.
