Angola vs Seychelles Prediction and Betting Tips | July 1st 2024

Angola and Seychelles square off at the Isaac Wolfson Stadium in Group C of the 2024 COSAFA Cup on Monday. This will be the second-ever meeting between the two nations, with the Palancas Negras claiming a comfortable victory in their first encounter back in 2022.

Angola were denied a dream start to their quest for a fourth COSAFA Cup crown as they were held to a goalless draw by Namibia last Friday.

With that result, Pedro Goncalves’s men have now gone four consecutive matches without defeat across all competitions, claiming three draws and one win since a 1-0 friendly loss against Morocco back in March.

Angola, whose last COSAFA Cup title triumph came in 2004, will now look to build on their opening-day results and avoid a fourth consecutive group-stage exit from the continental showpiece.

Seychelles turned in a resilient team display in last Friday’s group opener as they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Lesotho.

After falling behind to Jane Thabantso’s 19th-minute opener, Ralph Jean Louis’ side upped the ante in the second half as Lorenzo Hoareau struck in the 67th minute to force a share of the spoils.

However, Seychelles have now gone eight consecutive matches without a win across all competitions, losing seven and claiming one draw since a 1-0 friendly victory over Bangladesh in March 2023.
