Angola will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to South Africa when they face Zimbabwe in the 2025 AFCON round 2. As both side will adopt an attack-minded approach, we expect goals at both ends with 1-1 our predicted outcome. Palancas Negras failed to impress in their opener, with the team experiencing all sorts of problems at the back. Anyhow, their expected goals of 0.89 in their opener is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in Patrice Beaumelle’s team, but midfielder Zini remains in the recovery room.
The Warriors, on the other hand, made life difficult for Egypt in the opening match of their Africa Cup of Nations campaign, but Mohamed Salah’s late goal eventually helped the Pharaohs pick up all three points from the match. The fact that Zimbabwe have managed to keep a clean sheet in only 10% of their recent games, definitely supports our betting angle. Both Navaya and Murwira should be cautious after getting booked in the Group B opener.
As both sides are desperate to grab something from the match, BTTS is our main betting pick this time out. Additionally, Over 1.5 goals and Half-Time Draw bets seem tempting.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 12:30.
