South Africa vs Zambia Predictions
Zambia ran out victors in their last fixture to get back to winning ways, while South Africa have won their last three fixtures. With a 24-hour gap between matches for both nations, rotation will take place. As a result, I'm tipping this clash to end in a draw.
- South Africa have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 9 home matches (all competitions).
- Zambia have seen BTTS Yes in 4 of their last 6 matches.
- Zambia have seen under 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 4 matches (all competitions).
Head to Head
Zambia hold a 7-5 lead against South Africa across 13 previous meetings with one draw.
They last met in October 2020 where Zambia won 2-1 in South Africa.
South Africa Form
Bafana Bafana have won all three COSAFA Cup matches having failed to qualify for the 2021 AFCON. They have already qualified for the COSAFA semi-finals.
