Mozambique vs Namibia Prediction & Betting Tips - COSAFA Cup
by Kennedy Kechula in Football Predictions
Mozambique have been flying high at the 2024 COSAFA Cup competition. Seeking their first ever COSAFA Cup title, the Mambas are looking to reach new heights when they take on Namibia in the second semi-final. The first time Mozambique got to this stage of the competition was in 2004 and they went one better in 2008 and 2015.
Having lost in the final on those two occasions, Mozambique will be keen to do better this time. While Mozambique managed to finish top of Group A with just five points, Namibia’s seven points were only good enough for a second placed finish in Group C.
As Mozambique go in search of their first title, Namibia are targeting a second COSAFA Cup title to add to their trophy cabinet. The two nations will face off on Friday at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha.

Mozambique - Namibia: Form Analysis
Mozambique haven't had the best of runs against Namibia in their recent meetings, and will come into this game as the underdogs. In the last eight meetings between the two nations, Mozambique emerged winners on only one occasion.
That happens to have been in the COSAFA Cup competition, back in 2021. Actually, the last three meetings between these two nations were in the COSAFA Cup, Namibia winning two of them. in the 2022 semi-finals, Mozambique fell to Namibia 1-0 and they will have revenge on their minds coming here.
Boosted by a 3-1 win over Botswana in their last outing, Mozambique are just in the right state of mind coming to this game. While it was their first win in this competition, Mozambique have now gone undefeated in their last six matches. The Mambas have managed three wins in that six-game run, and only lost once in the last 10 games.
Namibia have back-to-back wins ahead of this game
Namibia will be bullish coming into this game, after their second straight win in beating Seychelles 3-1. That was their final Group C game, played on Wednesday, which ensured they finished second, behind leaders Angola.
Until the final moments of the game, Namibia did not look to be in any danger of crashing out. They established an early lead through Bethuel Muzeu, who would go on to score a brace. By the time they conceded, it was three minutes to full time and they were leading 3-0.
The only concern for Namibia, coming into this game would be fatigue, having played 24 hours after their opponents. They will be happy though with their turn in fortunes, having drawn four straight matches before registering back-to-back wins. It is now a six-game undefeated run for Namibia though they will want to build on just two wins in the last nine matches.

Mozambique & Namibia Squad Analysis
Bethuel Muzeu has scored three of Namibia’s five goals at this tournament and will be a man to watch here. Plying his trade in South Africa with Black Leopards, Muzeu is well versed with the terrain and will definitely be a thorn in the Mambas’ flesh. He didn’t have a shady season either, scoring 17 times in 25 league matches for his club.
Mozambique - Namibia Key Points
- Namibia have two wins in their last nine matches
- Four of Namibia’s last six matches produced draws
- Mozambique have draws in five of their last nine matches
- Mozambique have three wins in 11 COSAFA Cup matches
- Six of Mozambique’s last 10 COSAFA Cup matches ended in draws

Our Mozambique vs Namibia Prediction
These nations face off on the back of inconsistent runs. Mozambique did top their group, but only after winning one of their three matches. Namibia did win two group games but generally have drawn more than they won in recent times.
Though Namibia have been dominant in previous matches against Mozambique, they won’t carry to this game the favorites’ tag. We expect this to be a tougher game for them, especially after playing their final group game a day after Mozambique.
With all these in mind, our prediction for Mozambique v Namibia is for the game to end in a draw at 90 minutes.
Mozambique vs Namibia - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
One area these two teams seem to be struggling is in defence. Angola conceded in their last two matches and now have two clean sheets only in the last seven games. Both teams scored in four of their last six matches as well.
It is not so far from Namibia’s case – both teams scored in four of their last six matches. They come here on just two clean sheets in nine matches. Our second prediction therefore is for both teams to score.
