A place in the Africa Cup of Nations knockout stages will be at stake when Zimbabwe and South Africa face each other at Stade de Marrakech. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach, our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw. The Warriors head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Angola where they had 17 goal attempts, with expected goals of 1.44. Both Hadebe and Garananga are major doubts, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Bafana Bafana, on the other hand, are one point away from securing second place in Group B. Therefore, we predict that South Africa will rely on their defence in the last group game. The fact that Hugo Broos’ men have been conceding only 0.80 goals per game of late definitely goes in favour of our betting prediction. Hugo Broos has a luxury to field the best possible side against Angola.
As 80% of their recent H2H meetings have featured 2 or fewer goals, Under 2.5 goals is our main betting pick for this AFCON matchup. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw bets seem appealing.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 16:00.
