South Africa - DR Congo Prediction and Best Odds:

South Africa advanced to the semi-finals after a gripping encounter with Cape Verde, which ended in a goalless draw during normal time. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Hugo Broos' side emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. Mamelodi Sundowns captain Ronwen Williams shone during the penalty kicks, making an outstanding four saves out of five, ensuring South Africa's progression to the semi-finals. That marked the first time that a goalkeeper saved four penalties in any FIFA competition. Bafana Bafana also lost their first match in the competition, defeated 2-0 by Mali. However, they clinched second spot in the Group with a 4-0 win over Namibia and held Tunisia to a 0-0. That was before sending tournament favourites Morocco packing with a 2-0 win in the Round of 16. Following Williams’ heroics in the quarter-final, South Africa were beaten in the last four by the Super Eagles on penalties after the match ended 1-1 in regulation time. While Bafana Bafana are unbeaten in their last two against this opponent, they are the outsiders heading into this match, according to the bookmakers.  

Meanwhile, DR Congo got to the quarter-final of this competition without managing to win a single of their first four matches. They kicked off their AFCON campaign with back-to-back draws against Zambia and DR Congo before playing out a stalemate with Tanzania in their final group-stage match. That was enough to earn them the second spot in Group F behind Morocco, sending them into the Round of 16 against Egypt. The Leopards drew 1-1 again but managed to overcome the Pharaohs on penalties against the odds. Only after making it to the last eight did DR Congo manage to win a match in this competition, beating Guinea 3-1 before losing 1-0 to the host nation Ivory Coast on Wednesday evening. With that, the Leopards have now only won two of their last 13 matches in all competitions in regulation time while drawing seven and losing four.
