by Devesh Jaganath | in Football Predictions
Twelve nations from across Southern Africa began this year’s COSAFA Cup and only two remain! Angola and Namibia will do battle for the title at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Algeria this Sunday afternoon and it promises to be a close encounter. Let’s take a look at the key match stats and predictions for this headline event.
Palancas Negras overcame a stubborn Comoros to book their place in this grand spectacle, while the Brave Warriors had to overcome Mozambique on penalties to earn their shot at the crown. The two losing semi-finalists will face off in the match for third place at this venue earlier in the day.
Angola are looking to win the COSAFA Cup for what would be the fourth time, but their first since 2004. Namibia, on the other hand, have one title to their name (2015) and have finished as runners-up three times, most recently in 2022.

Angola - Namibia: Form Analysis
The future of Angolan football looks bright indeed! The senior side put together a solid run at the Africa Cup of Nations and now some of the younger players have got them to a final among the heavyweights of Southern Africa.
Palancas Negras came through the group unbeaten with seven points in their three matches, clinching top spot by virtue of a better goals return of one. In fact, they scored the most goals of any team in the competition during the group stage (6).
Angola put in two impressive performances, scoring three each against Seychelles and Lesotho in their second and third group-stage matches. They then held on to a 2-1 lead against a resilient Comoros in the semi-final.
Notably, the only points both these sides dropped in this competition were against each other!
Indeed, both teams kicked off the tournament with a goalless draw, though Namibia played out another match with the same result in the semi-final against Mozambique. At full-time, the teams needed penalties to separate them and the Brave Warriors came out on top 4-2.
In between those results, the 2015 champions were much more convincing, beating Lesotho 2-1 on July 1 before securing a commanding 3-1 victory over Seychelles two days later. Those results proved crucial as it allowed Namibia to qualify for the semi-final as the highest second-placed team in the group stage.
These two sides have met a total of five times in their history and four of those matches ended level. The only exception came at the Africa Cup of Nations last year where Namibia lost to Angola 3-0.

Angola & Namibia Squad Analysis
While there were several players worthy of receiving the Man of the Match award in the semi-final for Angola, Domingos Andrade was a clear standout. The defensive midfielder did excellently in covering the back four and the side will need another big performance from him on Sunday.
Keliano Manuel was withdrawn at half time and it is still unclear as to whether it was a tactical decision or due to injury. If Manuel is out for the final, Pedro Agostinho is the most likely to replace him in midfield.
Angola’s Depu and Namibia’s Bethuel Muzeu are the tournament’s joint-leading goal-scorers!
Muzeu showed incredible character in the last match as he stepped up to score the first goal for Namibia in the penalty shootout after missing a spot-kick in the first half.
Brave Warriors’ Simon Elago was also taken off at halftime against Mozambique and is a doubt for this match. That could see Ben Namib promoted to the starting 11 here, after replacing Elago last time out.
Angola - Namibia Key Points
- Both teams have scored in only four of Angola's last 11 fixtures.
- These sides played to a goalless draw earlier in the competition.
- Three of the last four matches between these sides have ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Both teams have scored in only three of Namibia's last 15 matches.
- Namibia have failed to score in each of their last four matches against this opponent.

Our Angola vs Namibia Prediction
While Angola have been relatively free-scoring in this tournament to this point, they struggled to create many clear-cut chances when they faced Namibia earlier in the competition.
Namibia, on the other hand, have already seen two of their four matches end goalless and are likely to prioritise keeping another clean sheet here. This looks like a very even contest on paper and we feel that the first goal could easily end up being the winner. Therefore, our Angola vs Namibia prediction: Both teams to score: No!
