Botswana Form

Botswana achieved their third win on the trot in the 2022 Hollywoodbets COSAFA Cup when they narrowly defeated Angola 1-0 after being awarded a controversial penalty.

Goalkeeper Goitseone Phoko slotted home the penalty kick in the 69th minute of the match to seal the win and knockout Angola from the tournament.

The Zebras' last five results across all competitions are L, D, W, W, and W, scoring three goals and conceding one. They have kept four successive clean sheets.

Botswana have done well to reach the quarter-finals of the 2022 COSAFA Cup but now face their toughest test to date. They will look to use their strong defensive capabilities to blunt Zambia's attack and snatch a goal to win the game.
