Mozambique vs Namibia Prediction and Betting Tips | 5th July 2024

Mozambique and Namibia lock horns at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, South Africa on Friday for the semi-finals of the 2024 COSAFA Cup. Ranked 103rd in the world, the Mambas progressed from Group A as the winners, after trumping South Africa for the pole position on goal difference.

Both sides finished with five points each, but Mozambique had a superior goal difference of +2 versus +1 for South Africa.

It all began with a 1-1 draw between them, with the Mozambicans then securing a dour goalless stalemate with Eswatini, only to burst into life in their last group fixture against Botswana. Goals from Momed Ferreira, Dario Melo and Edmundo Candido canceled out Tebogo Kopelang's early opener for the Zebras.

On the other hand, Namibia came second in Group C to Angola. The pair drew 0-0 in their opening game, but the Brave Warriors saw off Lesotho and the Seychelles in their next two games to seal their place in the last four.

Mozambique vs Namibia Prediction

Both sides are unbeaten in their last couple of games, but Namibia have appeared to be in better form in the cup, at least after their draw in the opening game. Led by the in-form Bethuel Muzeu, who has struck thrice in the competition so far, the Brave Warriors will be looking to continue their winning run in this knockout game.

We won't put it past them to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Mozambique 0-1 Namibia
