Madagascar Form 


Madagascar pocketed all three points in their opening Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup group stage match against Tanzania this past weekend, winning 1-0.

Madagascar took the lead with a goal against Tanzania after 29 minutes of play, going into the break with a 1-0 lead.

Madagascar had moments to extend their advantage in the second half, but the score remained unchanged until the final whistle. 

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

Bareas have won three of their last five fixtures, including two losses. They have scored 13 goals and let in six at the back. 

Madagascar have an opportunity to secure their place in the knockout stages of the COSAFA Cup when they take on an Eswatini side that have not won their last four outings in this competition.
