Angola vs Namibia Prediction: Angola to be crowned champions

The COSAFA Cup will end with Angola and Namibia battling it out at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The two nations have had a good run of games in this tournament and will hope for their luck in this final. How will this encounter end?

Angola

Angola will have confidence in themselves after decent performances in this tournament. Starting with a goalless draw with Namibia, this team won each of their remaining matches, where they defeated Seychelles and Lesotho. 

However, their semifinal encounter against Comoros saw them win by one goal to two, with two first-half goals from Manuel Keliano and Depu giving them the edge despite conceding a late penalty in the game's last minutes. In this tournament, Angola scored eight goals while conceding four.

Namibia

Namibia will hope they can get things right in this final game after a penalty shootout win over Mozambique in the semifinal. However, this team had a chance from the spot, which Bethuel Muzeu missed in the 43rd minute of the game. 

Heading into this final game, Namibia remain unbeaten in this tournament. They played Angola to draw in their opener and defeated Lesotho and Seychelles. Namibia scored five goals in this COSAFA Cup 2024 while conceding two. 

Expert Betting Tips

These two teams meeting in the competition's opener ended in a goalless draw, which could mean we would witness a close contest here. However, Angola looks stronger and more reliable in terms of their matches and performances in their last games. Namibia can not be written off, but I prefer Angola, especially due to their strong offense.
