Tanzania Form

Tanzania finished third overall at the 2017 COSAFA Cup in their last appearance in the competition after edging South Africa 1-0 in the quarter-finals and losing 4-2 to Zambia in the semi-finals before beating Lesotho 4-2 on penalties in the playoff after the score ended 0-0.

Tanzania beat Burundi 1-0, drew 0-0 and 3-3 against South Sudan, and 1-1 against Nigeria before losing 2-0 to Nigeria in their last five matches at the under-23 level.

The Tafia Stars have won one of their last five fixtures, including one loss and three draws. They scored five goals and conceded six.

Tanzania will be out to reproduce a similar effort in their last appearance in this competition but must be clinical upfront to get the winning result against Madagascar.

Madagascar played two fixtures at the 2022 COSAFA Cup, losing 2-0 to Namibia in the quarter-finals and 2-1 to South Africa in the plate semi-final.

After those results, Madagascar beat the Seychelles 5-0 and 7-1 home and away before losing 1-0 to Gabon at home and 4-0 in the return match away in four U-23 matches.

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

Madagascar return to the COSAFA Cup after a two-year absence but have a tricky opening match against Tanzania, as their opponents have seldom lost recently. However, they did beat Tanzania in the 2015 edition of this competition.
