South Africa vs Botswana Prediction: Bafana Bafana to win this encounter

South Africa will play Botswana in the COSAFA Cup game two at Isaac Wolfson Stadium. South Africa are favorites here, while Botswana will come in as underdogs. 

South Africa

South Africa is on an unbeaten run of games, and in this game, the Bafana Bafana will look to secure a win. In their opener, this team was held to a 1-1 draw. However, South Africa heads into this game, having also settled for draws in their games against D.R Congo, Andorra, Algeria, and Nigeria while they defeated Zimbabwe. Heading into this game, South Africa has scored nine goals while conceding 7 in their last five league games. 

Botswana

Botswana will come into this game following a goalless draw with Eswantini. In the meantime, their prior game to this tournament saw Botswana defeat Somalia in a World Cup qualifier. However, they suffered a defeat in Uganda while they drew Mozambique, Rwanda, and Burundi. Heading into this encounter, Botswana have scored four goals in their last six games, while conceding three in the same run. 

Analysis and Prediction

I am backing South Africa to win this game with a two-goal margin. Botswana at the moment, have had some good run of games, but they can not be trusted, looking at how poor they have been in front of goal. Also, while South Africa has dominated this fixture, a win for them in both halves is certain.
