South Africa meets Namibia in round 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations. The match will be played on Friday, June 28th atAl Salam Stadium (Cairo)
South Africa did not lose a single match in its qualifying group for the African Cup, but it still took only 2nd place. The national team of Nigeria was the main rival, and it was the team which outranked South Africa by additional fixtures. In the first match of the tournament, Bafana Bafana held back the onslaught of the powerful Ivory Coast team, but they conceded in the 65th minute, and that goal was the only one in the match.

Namibia reached the final stage of the African Cup only for the third time. Its first two visits to the tournament ended at the group stage. Most likely, this time will be the same. In the first round, the Warriors lost 1-0 to Morocco. Although justifying their nickname, they fought until the last minute and fought worthily keeping zeros on the scoreboard. But defender Keimine let his team down, scoring the ball into his own net in the 89th minute.
Both teams now need a victory to try to progress from the group. Even a draw will greatly complicate this task. And then the South African team looks more convincing. Bafana Bafana has much more experience in the international arena. The team took part in three World Cups, and it is a regular guest at the African Cup. And the squad of South Africa is much more powerful than the Namibian one. There are footballers playing in Europe now: Mothiba in Strasbourg, Tau in Belgium, Mokotjo in English Championship. There are those who have played there before. In Namibia, one can single out only Nyambe who is playing for Blackburn, and a player of Bundesliga 3, Starke. South Africa and Namibia met 6 times in their history. South Africa won in 5 cases, and one game ended in a draw. Most likely, it will win the upcoming game either.
Prediction for the match: South Africa to win
