Comoros and Angola face off at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, South Africa on Friday for the semi-finals of the 2024 COSAFA Cup. Ranked 119th in the world, Les Coelacantes progressed as winners of Group B by virtue of fewer goals conceded, with Kenya and Zimbabwe also finishing alongside them with six points.

By contrast, it had began with a 1-0 loss to Zimbabwe for Comoros, but the island side recovered to win their next two games and seal their place in the last four of the tournament.

For just the second time in their history, they find themselves at this stage of the cup and take on Angola next. The Black Sable Antelopes came first in Group C with seven points after two wins and a draw.

Following a dour 0-0 stalemate with Namibia, Angola overcame the Seychelles and Lesotho to reach this stage, marking their first appearance in the knockout stages of the cup since 2013.

Comoros vs Angola Prediction

Angola are the form side here, having displayed a menacing attacking form in the group stages after that sloppy game in the tournament opener. Led by the in-form Depu, the Black Sable Antelopes will cause their opponents all sorts of problems and we expect them to secure a narrow win against the Comoros.

Prediction: Comoros 1-2 Angola
