Head to Head

South Africa have won their last 4 matches against Eswatini. Their last fixture ended in a 1-0 defeat to Eswatini during the 2022 COSAFA Cup.

South Africa Form

South Africa selected a young squad for the tournament, and while they have not looked all that fluent, they have gotten results.

Bafana Bafana drew their opening game 1-1 against Namibia but beat Botswana 2-1 last time out. The tournament hosts have to come from a goal down in the 63rd minute as well.

A minute after going behind, South Africa were handed a penalty to equalise while Botswana were also down to 10 men. A minute later they scored the winner.

South Africa Team News

The hosts still need a result from this match so expect them to be at full strength.

Eswatini Form

Eswatini were not very fancied coming into the COSAFA Cup but they are still in with a hope of qualification with a game to play.

After losing their opener 1-0 to Botswana, Eswatini bounced back to beat Namibia 2-1. They went a goal down in the 34th minute but then hit back in the 41st and 44th minute to level and take the lead.

Eswatini Team News

A win is needed for Eswatini, nothing else will do. They will throw the kitchen sink at this one.

Verdict

South Africa v Eswatini

I am backing South Africa to win with over 2.5 goals in the game. A win to nil is also on the cards.
